When Boca v São Paulo is, Sudamericana quarter-final second leg | OneFootball

Knowing when Boca will play against São Paulo is the top priority for fans after the latest win in the local league. The team led by Rodolfo Arruabarrena travels to Brazil aiming to secure its place in the next round of the Copa Sudamericana.

The Boca side heads into this international clash in high spirits after a convincing 3-1 win over Central Córdoba at La Bombonera. The goals from Ángel Romero, who scored twice, and Enner Valencia’s first goal for the club confirmed the team’s strong form, as it now has 12 matches unbeaten. This victory allowed the blue and gold club to reach 14 points in the current Torneo Clausura.

However, the Xeneize is now fully focused on the continental stage and the coveted Copa Sudamericana. In the first leg played at home, the team managed to edge out a narrow win to take an advantage. Maintaining tactical discipline will be the main key to making that favorable result count against the tough Brazilian side.

El Vasco is planning a smart approach, understanding that the urgency and pressure will fall on the home side from the very first minute. The coach has players back for this match, as Álvaro Montero returned from his trip to his home country for family reasons, while both Milton Delgado and Malcom Braida have recovered from their respective injuries.

How Boca’s opponent is coming in

São Paulo, which will host Xeneize this Tuesday in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals needing to overturn the 1-0 first-leg defeat, comes into the match shaken after a 2-0 loss in the derby against Palmeiras.

With the continental tournament in mind, coach Dorival Júnior decided to rest his stars and fielded an alternate lineup, leaving Maia as the only regular starter. The match quickly became an uphill battle for the São Paulo side, which had Luis Osorio sent off in the 39th minute of the first half.

Goals by Murilo Cerqueira just before halftime and Vitor Roque early in the second half sealed the result in favor of the Brasileirão runner-up. Although the coach tried to change the course of the game with the second-half introductions of Arboleda, Artur, Danielzinho, Iago, and Tete, the result did not change.

With this tough defeat, Tricolor dropped to 11th place in the Brazilian league table with 33 points, having suffered a total of 11 losses in 26 matches played.
