Boca Juniors managed to maintain their advantage after a scoreless draw against São Paulo at the Morumbi Stadium during the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. The match, which had a cautious start, ended with the same scoreline as the first leg, where Boca won 1-0 at home.
The second half of the match began with a substitution for São Paulo, bringing in Djhordney for Danielzinho. Throughout the first half, both teams exhibited limited offensive performance, with São Paulo having the only two clear opportunities. In the 37th minute, a remarkable save by Álvaro Montero prevented a header from Gustavo Santana from opening the scoring, while in the 43rd minute, Boca’s Paredes attempted a wayward shot from distance.
The match referee, Gustavo Tejera, managed a hostile atmosphere at Morumbi, where São Paulo fans expressed their discontent after the loss in the classic against Palmeiras. As the game progressed, the home team was unable to convert their attempts, facing a solid defense from Boca.
With this draw, Boca Juniors advanced to the semifinals of the Copa Sudamericana and prepares to face the winner of the match between Vasco da Gama and Independiente Santa Fe, who played their own match in Brazil following the 0-0 draw in the first leg.
