Here is the South America Cup standings: Racing is the leader and is on track to qualify

Racing in the Copa Sudamericana feels different to racing in the League Cup. The fact is that Gustavo Costas’ team, this Wednesday, beat the Brazilian Bragantino and added six points in group H, in which they called the ranking into question. He also accumulates goals: he scored five and conceded none in his first two appearances.

And taking into account that, in this tournament which is the second continental stage, only the first teams directly access the round of 16, the Academy could have obtained a cushion of points which could be fundamental after the victory in Paraguay against Sportivo Luqueño and against the Squadra Brazilian.

What he could not exploit his home field was Defense and Justice, who started by beating Florencio Varela’s Always Ready, but had to settle for a 1-1 draw for the Bolivians. In Group A, both were top with four points, while Independiente Medellín – Halcón’s next rival – are on three points, having beaten Universidad César Vallejo.

On Tuesday the story did not start well for the Argentine teams as Argentinos Juniors had suffered their first defeat for a national team in both the Libertadores and the South American.

And it was with a hard slap against Racing de Montevideo by 3 to 0 in Paternal, which complicated things in group F, in which Corinthians – its next rival – had no mercy on Nacional del Paraguay (4-0 ) to remain leaders.

Boca also appeared, taking another step towards its highest continental goal, the South American, winning 1-0 against the modest Sportivo Trinidense of Paraguay, thanks to the boy’s header. Aaron Anselma result that enriched last week’s draw in Potosí, against Nacional.

Furthermore, this Wednesday, Diego Martínez’s Xeneize received bad news. Because Fortaleza of Brazil, their next rival, beat the Bolivians 5-0 to look down on everyone with +7 goal difference in group D.

This Thursday Lanús will receive Garcilaso from Peru and Belgrano from Córdoba will visit Delfín from Ecuador.
