Copa Libertadores weekly report: the only surprise was Independiente de Medellin's 5-0 win over current champion Flamengo.

Close match in San Pablo: River went up for just a minute but could not hold it
At the end of the first week of matches in the resumption of the Copa Libertadores de América after 190 days of being without playing as a result of the COVID-19 coronavirus, the Argentine teams made their debut with mixed luck.

The two "big" teams Boca and River did not feel the absence of matches and they asserted their hierarchies of great teams by having to face representatives of Paraguay and Brazil respectively who already came with several games played under their belt (Argentina was the last country to approve the protocol of training and meetings to play the Libertadores and Sudamericana cups, while the local tournament still has an uncertain date to restart).

In the first match of the day, Rácing Club (Argentina) lost 1-0 at home to Nacional (Uruguay), later River Plate (Argentina) drew Brazil with São Paulo 2-2 in a highly contested and intense match. Subsequently, Boca Juniors (Argentina) achieved an important victory as a visitor against Libertad (Paraguay) and in the last match of the date Defensa y Justicia (Argentina) at home defeated Delfín from Ecuador, debutant in the contest, 3-0.

In other matches, the surprise was given by the other Ecuadorian team Independiente del Valle, which, playing at home, thrashed 5-0 to none other than the current champion Flamengo from Brazil.

They completed the table Barcelona of Ecuador, who lost at home to Junior from Barranquilla (Colombia) by 2 to 1 and Guarani of Paraguay, who beat Tigre (who plays in Argentina's B) at home by 4 to 1.
