After defeating Boca Juniors, Matekana now secure a place in the round of 16. What’s missing?
Deportivo Pereira are aiming for a record in their first participation in the 2023 Copa Libertadores after this Wednesday’s historic 1-0 win over Boca Juniors to put them in contention to qualify for the Round of 16 of the Conmebol competition.
Colombia’s Matecaña team went on a blast this week, defeating the prestigious xeneize to level with 7 points in the Group F standings and dislodge Colo Colo from Chile to third.
Thus, Perera is upbeat despite being a spectator in his last two games. What accounts do you make to qualify for the Libertadores?
The 5th will be crucial for Perera as they could qualify for the Round of 16 earlier. On Tuesday, June 6, Monagas will travel to Venezuela at 5:00 p.m. Colombia time; The first thing is to win to reach 10 points, that way they will be classified without depending on anything else.
On the same day, at 7:00pm (8:00pm in Chile and 9:00pm in Argentina), Boca Juniors will face Colo Colo at the La Bombonera stadium. If xeneize wins their match, they will also reach 10 points and qualify for the Round of 16 along with Pereira, who are left to decide the top spot in the group on the final day.
If there is a draw in Argentina, Matekana will be in the same round of 16, although Boca and Colo Colo are options for the other place.
At the deadline (June 29), Pereira hopes to arrive in Chile to face Colo Colo and he will be a judge to define the other qualifiers, but he needs to win in Santiago if he wants to finish in the lead.
Boca will be local again, this time against Monaco.
