The hour of truth for San Luis and their Copa Libertadores efforts has arrived.

On Tuesday, the club will visit Paraguayan side Libertad who have already booked their ticket to the tournament's knockout rounds.

San Luis' task appears difficult. Los Gladiadadores must win and hope Universitario lose to San Lorenzo. The results need to combine for four goals in favor of San Luis - a two-goal win by the Mexicans coupled with a two-goal loss by Universitario would send San Luis through.
Don't Miss

Libertad already have beaten San Luis in this tournament, having beaten los Gladiodores in San Luis Potosi by 1-0 on Feb. 26.

In their first-ever participation in Copa Libertadores, San Luis have a 1-2-2 record and have just five points to show for their efforts. The club has scored five goals and allowed seven.
