In the last three closing games of the week after the resumption of the Copa Libertadores de América there were few surprises.
Boca Juniors, a clear favorite, defeated Deportivo Inependiente de Medellin (DIM) with the minimum as a visitor by the smallest difference and on time, while Santos defeated outsider Delfin as a visitor in Ecuador.
Jorge Wilsterman for his part, from the height, defeated a fierce Peñarol who had taken the lead as soon as the match began.
The synthesis of all the games played.
Boca defeated DIM as a visitor and was one step away from the eighth.
At the end of the match, after a defensive advantage, Eduardo Salvio found the goal to give Boca a victory against the weakest rival in Group H. Xeneize was within reach of the round of 16: with one more point, they will go from round.
Boca handled the ball but never found a way to break lines and violate DIM's defense. The local team appealed to always cut with infractions and thus avoided the projections of the Argentine champion.
Wilsterman recovered from the initial disadvantage and beat Peñarol 3 to 1
Patricio Rodríguez, the Duckling champion with Independiente de la Sudamericana 2010, had been without a team for a year after leaving Moirense de Portugal in mid-2019.
In his season in Portuguese football, he played 17 games (one complete), without goals. After the pandemic, he signed with Jorge Wilstermann, from Bolivia.
He made his debut against Athletico Paranaense, and got an assist in the defeat 3 to 2. And this Thursday he dispatched: a double against Peñarol and a 3 to 1 victory against the Carboneros, for the Copa Libertadores.
Santos won and is a comfortable leader in the Defense group.
El Peixe achieved an important victory in Ecuador against Delfín and was four points ahead of Crespo's team. With a draw it will be enough to secure the classification.
Santos took another key step to get closer to the round of 16. With the 2-1 as a visitor against Delfín, Peixe (10) was the leader of Group G, four units behind their pursuer Defense and Justice (6). It will be enough for him to tie in one of the two games he has left to seal the classification.
