Gymnastics and Fencing La Plata receive today at goiasfrom Brazil, looking for their first points after two defeats in South American Cup.
The match corresponding to Group G will be played from 19:00 at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo stadium, with the refereeing of the Ecuadorian Luis Quiroz and broadcast by ESPN and Star+.
The “Lupo” returns to play in the Forest after the 1-0 defeat against Universitario, from Peru, and the hard last-gasp fall against Independiente Santa Fe (2-1) in Colombia .
Sebastián “Chirola” Romero’s side are bottom of their group but a win against Goiás, their third with two points, would put them in contention for at least second place.
The Brazilian team, runners-up in the 2010 edition won by Independiente, failed to win either and drew with the Colombians without goals at home and then against Universitario (2-2) in Peru.
Gymnastics will suffer a significant drop, that of midfielder Alan Lescano, who will be out for three weeks due to a tear.
