If tied on points after the two legs the goal difference would be applied. if still tied, extra time was not played, and a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winners. In the event that the two Argentine teams from the group stage qualify for the round of 16, the lower-seeded team between these two would face defending champion Vélez Sarsfield in order to prevent three Argentine teams from reaching the quarter-finals. If two teams from the same national association reached the quarter-finals, they had to face each other, and those teams that had to face them formed another tie under the same conditions. If one or more games are settled in the quarter-finals between clubs belonging to the same national association, the Match S1 would correspond to the pair including the lower-seeding team. The following matches would be determined according to the same criteria. In all cases in which the order of legs could not be determined, the lower-seeding team had to host the first leg. Defending champions Vélez Sarsfield had to host the second leg in the round of 16. The above criteria were established to ensure that the four semifinalists would be of different nationalities (Regulations Section III, Article 3). Bracket The original bracket for the final stages was determined as follows:https://www.spfcpedia.com.br/ebooks/2021-04-30_revista-conmebol_037.pdf Revista CONMEBOL N° 37 CONMEBOL 21 March 2023 es RoundMatchupsRound of 16(Second stage)(Home team in the first leg are marked with (L)) Match A: Team seeded 1 vs. Team seeded 11 (L) Match B: Team seeded 5 vs. Team seeded 15 (L) Match C: Team seeded 9 vs. Team seeded 19 (L) Match D: Team seeded 13 vs. Team seeded 3 (L) Match E: Team seeded 17 vs. Team seeded 7 (L) Match F: Team seeded 2 vs. Team seeded 10 (L) Match G: Team seeded 14 vs. Team seeded 6 (L) Match H: Team seeded 18 (L) vs. Vélez Sarsfield (defending champions)Quarter-finals(Home team in the first leg are marked with (L)) Match S1: Winner A vs. Winner B (L) Match S2: Winner C vs. Winner D (L) Match S3: Winner E vs. Winner F (L) Match S4: Winner G (L) vs. Winner HSemi-finals(Home team in the first leg are marked with (L)) Match F1: Winner S1 vs. Winner S2 (L) Match F2: Winner S3 vs. Winner S4 (L)Finals(Home team in the first leg are marked with (L)) Winner F1 vs. Winner F2 (L) Per regulations, the original bracket had the following modifications: In the round of 16, Independiente and Bolívar swapped positions.
