Boca face San Pablo in the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. The first leg will take place tonight starting at 9:30 p.m. at Alberto J. Armando Stadium and will be broadcast on ESPN. The Xeneize’s main goal is to get a win at home so they can travel to Brazil without pressure. In that context, Arruabarrena confirmed the starting eleven that will face the São Paulo side.

After a draw that felt like a defeat against Gimnasia de Mendoza away from home, Boca return to La Bombonera for another Copa Sudamericana clash. Vasco’s team are still alive in every competition and, because of that, he had to rely on squad rotation. Against San Pablo, the lineup will feature the usual starters.

Vasco had some doubts ahead of this match. The questions were whether Facundo Herrera or Marco Pellegrino would play at center back. There was also the lingering possibility that Santiago Ascacíbar would not start because he was running a fever, and tactically whether Leonel Flores would keep his place or Sebastián Villa would win out. In the end, all of those questions were answered by the Xeneize coach when he confirmed the lineup.

In the team talk Arruabarrena gave at the hotel before heading to La Bombonera, he confirmed who will start. The center back who came through the youth academy and is nicknamed Jagger will take the spot he was contesting with the former Milan player. Up front, meanwhile, young Flores beat out the Colombian for a place.
