Marcelo Gallardo's men enjoy a two-goal lead from the first leg but will not find things easy against the Montevideo giants
The CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores has reached its quarter-final stage, as the delayed 2020 competition nears its end.
Thursday brings a close to yet another last-eight clash, as Nacional seek to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit in Montevideo's Parque Central against Copa experts River Plate.
The Millonario caused little surprise last week as they brushed past the Uruguayan underdogs, with both goals coming in the second half through Gonzalo Montiel and Bruno Zuculini.
Their margin of victory could have been even wider if Rafael Borre had not erred from the penalty spot before half-time, but Nacional have nothing to lose and will surely go all out for what would be an historic comeback on the other side of the Rio de la Plata.
