Copa Libertadores
Independiente Medellín vs Boca Juniors
20:00 ET
Meeting to be played at the Atanasio Girardot stadium. The red team from Antioquia has no margin for error in the continental tournament and faces the ‘xeneize’ team who have not won in Colombia for Libertadores since March 10, 2004, when they beat Deportivo Cali by the minimum.
Those led by Aldo Bobadilla can no longer endure another defeat in the Cup, if they do not add in the three remaining games they will be left without an international tournament for this year and the classification of two previous phases will be forgotten.
The Argentine team has been in Medellín since Tuesday, September 22, when they arrived at around 7 at night on an Aerolineas Argentinas flight. Without the coach Miguel Ángel Russo and the players Ramón 'Wanchope' Ábila or Julio Buffarini, but with the Colombians Edwin Cardona, Jorman Campuzano, Frank Fabra and the stars 'albicelestes' Carlos Tévez and Mauro Zárate, the 'xeneizes' will seek a triumph that bring them closer to qualifying for the round of 16.
With 24 players, the ‘xeneize’ team is in the capital of Antioquia. Several alternatives are being considered for the initial line-up that they would have for this game. Technical assistant Leandro Somoza would opt for Emmanuel Más and Gonzalo Maroni instead of Colombian Frank Fabra and Agustín Obando as right back and right wing respectively.
