However, they won the domestic cup for the first time in 2023 (and later, in the winter, the Supercup), which secured their spot in the Copa Libertadores. The Brazilians won their group in the tournament with 13 points. The "Dean" finished in the top 3 of the Uruguayan league and also qualified for the main continental tournament, where they advanced to the playoffs with 10 points.
Currently, the Brazilians are trying to climb back into the top 6 of their domestic Serie A. Despite a recent loss to Palmeiras, they remain in the top tier.

Meanwhile, the Uruguayans recently won an interim final, narrowly defeating Peñarol in the decisive match.
