América is playing for a place in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 against Bahía of Brazil: follow the match minute by minute.

Bahía aims to capitalize on América de Cali's poor run this Tuesday, after recently changing coaches and starting the Colombian championship with a draw, in the first leg of the playoff for a spot in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, being played in Salvador.

América's coach, Argentine Gabriel Raimondi, made several changes to the lineup that started the 0-0 draw against Llaneros in Villavicencio: Rafael Carrascal (suspended for accumulating yellow cards) and Jhon Murillo were removed from the starting eleven, and Kener González and Cristian Barrios were replaced.

After finishing third in Group F of the Copa Libertadores, behind Brazil's Internacional and Colombia's Atlético Nacional, Bahía arrives in good form and well-rested following the break for the FIFA Club World Cup.

Ceni's team, who recently renewed his position, has three consecutive victories in the Brazilian League and sits in a surprising fourth position in the table, currently with Flamengo and Cruzeiro at the top.

For the match, which will be played at the Fonte Nova Arena in the capital of Bahia, the Brazilian team will be without Kanu and Erick, both injured. Iago Borduchi will also be out due to a skin infection, as will Rezende, who is undergoing physical rehabilitation.

América reached this stage of the tournament by finishing second in Group C, with eight points, behind Huracán, who finished with 14. Corinthians of Brazil was eliminated with the same eight points as América, but with a worse goal difference, and Racing de Montevideo finished in last place, with just one point, which they took from Diablo at the Pascual Guerrero.
