Central Córdoba did it again. After the historic victory in the Maracaná, Ferro matched 1 to 1 against Flamengo in Santiago del Estero and was one step away in the eighths of the Copa Libertadores. The Santiago team adds 8 points and is an escort of Quito League by goal difference. The Mengao, on the other hand, was left with 5 and without margin of error. Deportivo Táchira, last without units, is already practically eliminated from Group C.
The Argentine team was once again solid and combative, with personality to face one of the giants of the continent. The goal was scored by Lucas Gamba in the first half and it was enough to keep the dream alive. While Flamengo tied it with Pedro, Central Córdoba endured with order and delivery to add another point that is worth gold.
On the other hand, River plays a key stop tonight in Guayaquil against Barcelona. With Marcelo Gallardo in Cup mode, the millionaire will seek to direct the classification in a match where the defense recovers important names: Paulo Díaz returns after his injury, Martínez Quarta also returns, and Marcos Acuña takes up ownership. Doubt passes through Gonzalo Montiel, with chances of not being risky for his recent injury. In that case, Fabricio Bustos will continue on the right side.
Up, the Trident Colidio-Driussi-Mastantuono will say present, while Kevin Castaño returns to the midfield. The team is already in Guayaquil and was received by fans at the hotel. The illusion is intact.
