Santos 2–2 San Lorenzo
You got a draw in Brazil and it was fully deserved. San Lorenzo went to Vila Belmiro and matched Santos blow for blow in the Copa Sudamericana, leaving with a 2–2 result that puts you in a strong position for the return leg. No Neymar on the pitch for Santos, he missed out entirely with calf edema (2) (3), but your team still had to deal with a hostile away crowd and delivered. The tie is alive and you control it at home.
Neymar out, World Cup worry for Brazil
The biggest name in the build-up never stepped on the field. Neymar was ruled out with calf edema, just days after being called up for Brazil's World Cup squad (1) (2). The injury raises serious concerns about his readiness for the tournament opener against Morocco (1) (4). For San Lorenzo, it meant one fewer threat to deal with, and you took advantage.
