When Boca play San Pablo, Sudamericana quarter-final second leg | OneFootball

Boca Juniors visit Brazil for the Copa Sudamericana quarter-final second leg against San Pablo on Tuesday 15 September at 21:30, at Morumbi. They hold a one-goal advantage after Miguel Merentiel decided the first leg 1-0 at La Bombonera.

Rodolfo Arruabarrena is preparing a pragmatic plan, with the onus on the hosts to chase the game. According to LaNumer12.com.ar, Álvaro Montero has returned from a trip to his home country for family reasons, while Milton Delgado and Malcom Braida are back from injury.

Boca arrive buoyed by a 3-1 home win over Central Córdoba, with Ángel Romero scoring twice and Enner Valencia opening his account. That result extended their unbeaten run to 12 matches and moved them to 14 points in the Torneo Clausura.

The match will be refereed by Gustavo Tejera, with Leodán González on VAR. Live coverage is available on DSports.

San Pablo come into the tie after a 2-0 derby defeat to Palmeiras. Dorival Júnior rested key players, keeping Maia as the only regular starter, and Luis Osorio was sent off on 39 minutes. Murilo Cerqueira struck before the interval and Vitor Roque added the second early in the restart.

That reverse left the Tricolor 11th in the Brazilian league on 33 points, with 11 defeats in 26 matches. A win or a draw in Morumbi will take Boca into the semi-finals.
