Estudiantes de La Plata, the only Argentine team still in the Conmebol tournament, has a possible rival in the Intercontinental Cup. The team, which recently defeated Corinthians in Brazil, will face Toluca in the Derbi de las Américas, the first knockout stage in the Intercontinental Cup.

The winner of this match will then face Mamelodi Sundowns, the South African team that defeated Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia 2-1 in the Challenger Cup. Mamelodi Sundowns will be Estudiantes' next opponent in the Challenger Cup, with the winner advancing to the final against Paris Saint-Germain in December.
