Vélez must win to settle for the Copa Libertadores. (Ferdinand’s Order)
Velez Sarsfieldwho has not yet won the Copa Libertadores, is receiving National of Uruguayfor the third date of Group C, in a match considered “final” for interim coach Julio Vaccari.
The match will be played from 7:15 pm at the José Amalfitani stadium, with arbitration by Paraguayan Eber Aquino and will be aired on Fox Sports.
After Saturday’s draw against Barracas Central (1-1) for the League Cup, Vaccari ensured that the match against Nacional was “the final world” and the team needed to win to continue their chances in the Copa Libertadores. .
Vaccari, Mauricio Pellegrino’s successor, was confirmed by manager Christian Bassedas until June, but the results obtained (1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses) cast doubt on his continuation.
El Fortín debuted with a tough win in La Plata against Estudiantes (4-1) and in its last performance was tied (2-2) against Bragantino from Brazil.
For Nacional it will also be transcendental as they only got one point in the goalless draw against “Pincha” in Montevideo and on the first date they fell to Brazil against Bragantino (2-0).
