Estudiantes La Plata secured their place in the CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores knockout stages with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Carabobo on May 28, 2025. The result at the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi sent the Argentine side through as the group's second-place team. Estudiantes dominated possession from the start and scored a goal in each half to seal the victory. Their defense was rarely tested by a Carabobo attack that failed to register a shot on target, ending the Venezuelan club's campaign without a single point. The professional performance ensured Estudiantes' progression, setting up a challenging but exciting round of 16 tie against one of the other group winners.
