After Boca draw with Cruzeiro, how the Copa Libertadores Group D table looks | OneFootball

Boca were held by Cruzeiro at La Bombonera, a frustrating draw that leaves qualification finely poised heading into the final group game. With Universidad Católica set to face Barcelona, the Group D picture remains in flux.

Boca had needed a home win over the Belo Horizonte side to ease the pressure for matchday six, but in a match laced with controversy Claudio Úbeda’s team could only take a point. LaNumer12.com.ar notes the Xeneize still have qualification in their own hands, though they must watch Thursday’s meeting between Universidad Católica and the Guayaquil club.

For now, Cruzeiro lead Group D on eight points, with Boca on seven. Universidad Católica are third with a game in hand and level with Boca, while Barcelona sit bottom on three.

The possible scenarios hinge on Thursday 21 May. If Universidad Católica win or draw, Boca will be obliged to win their final match at La Bombonera. They would then be level on 10 points and, having won both head to head meetings, would advance under the new tiebreak.

If the Ecuadorians beat the Chileans, Boca’s task becomes lighter. A win or a draw against the Rayados on matchday six would be enough for Claudio Úbeda’s side to reach the next round.
