Boca strikers are non existent.
Copa Libertadores 2020 - Final Live on IPlayer at 8pm Saturday
- Thread starter drgriffen
- Start date
Is Tevez a striker, a number 10 or has gone full Wayne Rooney & been converted to a 6?.

I'd be taking off Soldano and replacing with Ábila, Zarate or even Capaldi.
It'll come down to how good Santos finishing is. They're going to get opportunities as Boca try to push up.
A poor 45 from Boca but still in the game.

After watching a couple of games in this competition, it seems like most teams are completely devoid of any sort of defensive structure in South America.
Maybe I'm spoiled from watching us, but every time Santos came forward I was thinking "Midfielders too far forward, Right back is too far back, centre backs are split too far apart, Goalkeeper should come forward and press the line forward, left back isn't in line and too far forward, a midfielder isn't there for the recycling..."etc.

Boca are a shadow of the team that played River in the final a couple of years ago

That is some good quality refereeing there.
He was in there fast, red card was up immediately to stop it from boiling over, moving the player away from Santos players and to the sidelines and explaining to him that VAR will look at it.
Diffused a potentially explosive situation.

Agreed, stuck on. Always the way.
How did that stay out?
When it's not your day.
Goal probably wouldn't have made a difference but Santos were desperate to give them nothing.

This game could easily be 3-3. Don’t know how boca haven’t scored

Boca caught at the start of each half, surprised by Santos coming out. Russo seemed to expect them to be as cautious as he would have been in that situation.
Miserable way to go out.

At least we're going to have the "Clássico da Saudade" (Nostalgia Derby) in the Final.

Has the Santos keeper even made a save yet?
I use to follow Santos closely back in the mid 2000’s when Robinho & Diego were coming through. Got a top of theirs from that time, so hope they win too

With the Final at the Maracana, even more of a shame that we won't have fans in attendance.

Is the Copa Sudamericana on the BBC as well?
Lanús vs. Velez coming up, 2nd leg. Lanús lead 1-0.

Enjoyed that. Been surprised how open the games over the last couple of rounds have been. Final hard to pick, Santos looked better but they’re behind Palmeiras in the league and it’s a one-off game .... looking forward to it anyhow.

It will be a major shock from what I've seen, if Santos don't skoosh the final against Palmeiras.
I notice from Wikipedia that games between the clubs are called "The Nostalgia Derby". I think Santos will be able to look back with satisfaction years from now, as they remember that night in the Maracana.

From what I remember they play bigger games at larger grounds in the area although I may be wrong.
drgriffen may have more information as Brazilian football isn't my specialist subject.
