Who will Boca face in the Sudamericana last 16? | OneFootball

Boca suffered more than expected against O’Higgins, but secured a place in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16. In the next stage of the international tournament, the Xeneize will face Paraguay’s Recoleta with the obligation to improve in each and every aspect on the field.

The team coached by Rodolfo Arruabarrena advanced on penalties after another embarrassment, this time in the Copa Sudamericana. After earning a hard-fought victory at La Bombonera, Xeneize lost 1-0 at El Teniente Stadium in Rancagua over the 90 minutes. The penalty shootout ended 4-3 in its favor, with Tomas Aranda missing one and Álvaro Montero saving another.

In this way, its next rival will be Paraguay’s Recoleta. The round of 16 tie will begin during the week of August 12 at La Bombonera and will be decided during the week of the 19th of the same month away from home. The team will once again have to play the second leg away, as happened in the playoffs.

Boca will face Paraguay’s Recoleta in the Sudamericana round of 16.

The Asunción side reached the round of 16 of the international tournament after finishing first in Group D with only 8 points, the result of one win and five draws. It is worth noting that the group, shared with Santos, San Lorenzo and Deportivo Cuenca, was the weakest of the entire opening phase of the Copa Sudamericana.
