Platense won the second leg by one goal, Agustín Canobbio scoring in the 57th minute, and the tie closed 3-2 on aggregate, with 6 shots on target to 2, and Fluminense won the last meeting 2-0.
The Diamondbacks, currently outside the playoff picture, host the Marlins in a critical conference matchup. Arizona has won 5 of their last 10 games, while Miami has struggled, losing 7 of their last 10.
Peterborough won the shootout 7-6 after Peterborough and Barnsley could not be separated in 120 minutes, Cameron McGeehan, Harry Leonard, Danny Ormerod and Reyes Cleary the scorers, with 15 shots on target to 9.
