Deportivo Binacional vs River Plate

The return to competition for Marcelo Gallardo's team took place with a good performance at the Morumbí stadium in San Pablo, where the 2-2 tie did not correspond to the game shown by the Argentines after six months of inactivity, and Against a rival who, on the other hand, had already played 14 official matches.

Núñez's team has four points in the group, thanks to the draw in Brazil and the 8-0 win against Binacional at the Monumental stadium.

That amount of goals allows him to take a light advantage of San Pablo, who also has four units but is third in the group that leads the Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito with six.

Deportivo Binacional, meanwhile, did not make a good comeback as it fell 1-0 in Lima with Liga de Quito, last Wednesday, and was in last position with three units.

The current champion of Peruvian soccer lost - by decision of Conmebol - the location in the dreaded height of Juliaca (3,840 meters above sea level, where San Pablo went and lost 2-1) and needs to win again to aspire to pass round in his first participation in the Libertadores.

"We feel harmed. It seems that something is happening that they do not allow us to play in Juliaca. We definitely lose something if we do not play at the height," said coach Javier Arce, who returned to the club in early September to replace Colombian Flabio Torres.
