Colón, leader of Group G of the Copa Libertadores and already qualified for the round of 16, visited Peñarol tonight in search of a victory that would ensure first place. The match will begin at 9:00 pm, on Fox Sports television and Brazilian arbitration Anderson Daronco.
In case he doesn’t get three points, Sabalero (10 pts and +1) will have to hope that Cerro Porteño (8 pts and +2) doesn’t win the classic against Olimpia. A victory for the azulgrana team and an draw for Falcioni’s staff will leave at all levels and that’s where they will start to carve out a difference in goal.
Meanwhile, Peñarol has no chance of advancing to the round of 16, but he has a chance to go down to South American. To do this, they must not only win their game, but also hope that Cerro will win the derby, which last Sunday had a local version: as a guest, Ciclón crushed its lifelong rival to 4-0. Uruguayans pray for a repeat of history.
In any case, as DT Carbonero himself admitted Mauricio Larriera, “Peñarol’s main rival is Peñarol himself”who lost the memory of all the good it had done at the local and regional level just a few months ago and could not find the course to rectify.
The Falcioni people, in contrast, are very calm and satisfied with what they are doing around the world. “We were able to qualify in a group with hierarchy rivals and we showed that in all the fields we went out to look at, we came out to win”comment of the Emperor.
