Boca forced into defensive change, Garnero talks big ahead of Copa final

Forced defensive change for cup final

Coach Ubeda will be forced into at least one change in Boca's back line for the Copa final against Católica. A starter is unavailable, and a replacement is already being lined up (1).

Católica's manager Daniel Garnero isn't hiding his confidence. "We're coming to take the classification," he said, adding that his side tops "the most complex group in the Cup" (2). A reshuffled defense against a team that fancies its chances, this is where you earn the shirt.

Libertadores: draw with Cruzeiro leaves group tight

Boca played out a draw with Cruzeiro at La Bombonera in the Conmebol Libertadores group stage. The result leaves Cruzeiro needing to beat Barcelona on the final matchday to advance. Otávio and Fagner were among those who featured for the Brazilian side (3).

The group is still in Boca's hands. One game to go.
