Facing Lanús, leader of Group A of the Copa Sudamericana Metropolitans of Venezuela in search of a victory that allows him to advance to the next opportunity. It was played in La Fortaleza at 7:15 pm, with ESPN television and Brazilian arbitration Braulio Machado.
Three teams are fighting for a spot in the round of 16: Lanús (8 pts and +2), Barcelona de Guayaquil (8 and +1) and Montevideo Wanderers (7 and -1). Therefore, Garnet is obliged to win so as not to expect too much from what will happen in Uruguay. If the Ecuadorian team also wins in the land of Uruguay, it will start carving out the goal difference.
In the event of a draw, Almirón’s staff will have to hope that Wanderers and Barcelona will also end up on equal footing, as the defeat leaves them with no chance. In summary, What Lanús needs is one of the following three options:
- Win and Barcelona don’t do it.
- Win by goal difference equal to or greater than Barcelona.
- Tie and let Barcelona tie.
After a poor performance in the League Cup, it was an important match for the Argentina team. “Let’s look at it as final. The good thing is we are playing at home and we will have the support of our people, “said defender Matías Pérez. He added:” We will give everything for qualification. The team is fine. “
The Venezuelan team, which has already been eliminated, will act as ‘partner’, but is willing to fight for honor. “We’re always on the ground,” purple team coach José María Morr said.
