No more speculation and luck was cast at La Bombonera to define the last semi-finalist of the 2020 Copa Libertadores. Racing took a slight lead with 1-0 home and Boca has an obligation to go out and look for the match and have a win to aspire to qualify. For this, Miguel Angel Russo had a number of variants to reverse the face shown in Avellaneda and for that he bet on the revenues of Franco Soldano and Diego González, who replaced Edwin Cardona and Nicolás Capaldo, respectively, after showing good yields at the weekend.
On the other side, Beccacece played it for the same eleven who won the Cylinder 1-0 to try to be among the top four in America after 23 years of waiting, although he changed the style of play considering that the venue left from the start so that he equated the series. With no more preambulos ahead, Boca jumped on the pitch with Esteban Andrada; Leonardo Jara, Lisandro López, Carlos Izquierdoz, Frank Fabra; Diego González, Jorman Campuzano; Eduardo Salvio, Carlos Tevez, Sebastián Villa; Franco Soldano.

Racing, on the other hand, performed at La Bombonera with Gabriel Arias; Fabricio Dominguez, Nery Dominguez, Leonardo Sigali, Alexis Soto, Eugenio Mena; Leonel Miranda, Matías Rojas; Lorenzo Melgarejo, Lisandro López and Héctor Fértoli.From the start, Boca went for everything and with conviction, in addition to good movements of Fabra on the left and Salvio on the right and after several appearances in the area, the “Toto” appeared to stamp the 1 to 0 at 23 minutes of play and match the key with the “Academy”. The beginning of the second stage found parity in Racing, although the prints cost the “Academy” dearly. However at 59, the venue deserved to get a little higher and was able to get it from the penalty point. Lisandro Lopez knocked down Salvio, a big game, and Villa took over to beat Arias and put the 2-0 pass that gives him the “xeneize” pass to the semi-finals. With the dominance of the match and no game to look for the discount that gave him the ticket, Boca consumed a great recovery and again became a candidate for the Liberators. Now he will face Santos for a place in the long-awaited final that will be played in the Maracana.
