Wed May 07 00:40:00 UTC 2025: ## América de Cali Faces Tough Road to Copa Sudamericana Knockout Stage
**SAO PAULO, BRAZIL** – América de Cali faces a challenging path to the Copa Sudamericana knockout stages. Currently second in Group C with five points from three games, the Colombian side trails leader Huracán (7 points). Their chances took a hit following a goalless draw against Huracán in Argentina.
Next, América de Cali faces a crucial away match against Corinthians, a game that could significantly hinder their chances of securing a coveted top-two finish. Only the group winner automatically advances to the round of 16; the second-place team must navigate a playoff against a third-place team from the Copa Libertadores.
With Corinthians (4 points) and Racing de Montevideo (0 points) also in the group, América de Cali’s path to the next stage remains precarious. A victory against Corinthians is essential if they hope to maintain their push for a place in the knockout rounds.
