After the historic away win over Peñarol, Platense will play at home in the Copa Libertadores for the first time in its history

Platense will face a key match this Wednesday, when it hosts Colombia’s Independiente Santa Fe, in a clash corresponding to the third matchday of Group E in the Copa Libertadores.

Platense will play its first home match in the Copa Libertadores

The match, scheduled for 7 p.m., will be played at the Ciudad de Vicente López Stadium, with live coverage from Noticias Argentinas Agency, and will be available on Fox Sports and Disney+ Premium. The referee will be Venezuela’s Alexis Herrera, while his compatriot Reyes Soto will be on VAR.

Platense, coached by Walter Zunino, comes into this match riding high on excitement after the historic 1-0 away win over Uruguay’s Peñarol on the second matchday, following what had been a difficult debut in the competition with a home defeat against Brazil’s Corinthians.

This is the first participation in the Copa Libertadores for the Vicente López team, which qualified for the tournament thanks to its unforgettable title in the 2025 Torneo Apertura.

As for the domestic league, Platense has only 16 points and no longer has any chance of reaching the playoffs, so it will put all its focus on the Libertadores.

Independiente Santa Fe, meanwhile, has picked up only one point from its first two matches in this Copa Libertadores, the result of a draw with Peñarol and a defeat to Corinthians.

Probable lineups

Platense: Matías Borgogno; Tomás Silva, Víctor Cuesta, Mateo Mendia, Juan Saborido; Maximiliano Amarfil, Pablo Ferreira; Franco Zapiola, Kevin Retamar, Guido Mainero; Tomás Nasif. Head coach: Walter Zunino.
