In the first round of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals, Fulmines faced the challenge of Olimpia in their own stadium. As one of the best teams in the Barclays Premier League, Fulmines not only performs well in the local league, but also in the Copa Libertadores. In the last round of 16, they beat Argentinos Jr. 3-1 on aggregate, and whenever the team returns home to face the Copa Libertadores, it seems to be injected with new energy. In their last four home matches in the Copa Libertadores, they have won three and drawn one, including a big win over Argentinean rivals River Plate, which is not to be underestimated.
