Real Potosi will play the next round in Río de Janeiro against Olimpia (Paraguay), Emelec (Ecuador) y Lanús (Argentina) for the group 2 title. Flamengo’s Luiz Antonio started the game with an early goal but Potosi’s  Claudio Centurión responded by heading in a gaol to tie the game at 1-1. With 12 minutes left, Edgardo Brittes kicked the winning goal for Potosi that left the Brazilians stunned. Flamengo had spent nine days training at high altitude in preparation for the game and had stated that altitude would not be a factor. Flamego put both their stars Ronaldinho on defense and Deivid as forward to no avail.
