How Boca v São Paulo stands with a win, draw or defeat | OneFootball

Boca plays this Tuesday against São Paulo at the Morumbí, where it will look to seal its place in the Copa Sudamericana semifinals. The Xeneize wants to make the most of the 1-0 win earned a week ago at La Bombonera thanks to Miguel Merentiel’s goal. Below, we review the possible scenarios in this series and what the team from La Ribera needs to do to reach the final four of the continental tournament.

The narrow win at La Bombonera gave the side coached by Vasco Arruabarrena an advantage, although given the importance of the opponent, they know the series is far from over. The goal scored at home allows the Xeneize to travel to São Paulo with a favorable cushion, knowing that the pressure will fall entirely on the home side.

In this context, the second leg will present several possible scenarios that will determine the future of the club from La Ribera in the competition. It is worth remembering that the away goals rule no longer applies, so any tie on aggregate will inevitably lead to a penalty shootout, with no extra time played.

If the Boca side manages to secure a draw by any scoreline or earns another win on Brazilian soil, it will directly book its ticket to the semifinals of the tournament. On the other hand, a one-goal defeat would force the series to be decided by a penalty shootout, while a loss by two goals or more would mean elimination from the continental competition.

It should be emphasized that the 30 minutes of extra time are reserved exclusively for the final, scheduled for next November 21 at the Roberto Meléndez Metropolitan Stadium in Barranquilla, Colombia. In the earlier rounds, a penalty shootout is the only tiebreaker if the aggregate score is level.
