Talleres Cordoba and Barcelona SC will battle for three points in a Copa Libertadores fixture on Tuesday. The hosts will be looking to build on their 2-0 away win over Cobresal a fortnight ago.
Kevin Mantilla and Ramon Sosa scored first-half goals to help the Argentines leave Chile with all three points.
Barcelona, meanwhile, claimed a 3-1 away win over Delfin in the Ecuadorian Liga Pro. Lopez Joao, Janner Corozo and Francisco Fydriszewski all scored to help the visitors claim the win in a game that saw both sides end with 10 men.
The Bullfighters will turn their attention to the continent, where their last game came in a 2-0 defeat at home to Sao Paulo in the Libertadores.
