What time are Boca playing Recoleta today, and how to watch live | OneFootball

Boca faces Deportivo Recoleta today at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium in the second leg of the 2026 Copa Sudamericana round of 16. With the 3-1 advantage earned in the first leg in Buenos Aires, Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s side will look to secure their place in the next round of the continental tournament.

The Xeneize head into this match after drawing 1-1 against Platense on matchday five of the Torneo Clausura. Although the team failed to take all three points domestically, the coaching staff’s priority is focused on protecting the lead they built at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó Stadium, where they beat the Paraguayan side 3-1.

For their part, Deportivo Recoleta are going through an inconsistent spell. In their last outing in the Paraguayan domestic league, they lost 2-1 at home to Sportivo 2 de Mayo, so they will need a historic performance to overturn the two-goal deficit in the tie.

Boca’s match today kicks off at 7:00 p.m. Argentina time on ESPN.

Looking ahead to the return leg in Asunción, Vasco Arruabarrena is forced to make changes to the starting lineup due to several injury absences. Neither Leandro Paredes nor Leandro Lozano were included in the squad that traveled to Paraguay, remaining in Buenos Aires to continue their recovery work. Added to those absences is Marco Pellegrino, who suffered a muscle tear that will keep him out for a longer period.
