First Round

The teams were divided into three groups of four teams each. The formation of the groups was made by CONMEBOL, in a public drawing of lots.

Each team plays one match against each of the other teams within the same group. Three (3) points are awarded for a win, one (1) point for a draw and zero (0) points for a defeat.

First and second placed teams, in each group, advance to the quarter-finals. The best third placed team and the second best third placed team, also advance to the quarter-finals.

• Tie-breaker
  • If teams finish leveled on points, the following tie-breakers are used:
  greater goal difference in all group games;
• greater number of goals scored in all group games;
• winner of the head-to-head match between the teams in question;
• drawing of lots.

• All times local (UTC -05:00)
• Half-time scores are in brackets
