The Copa Libertadores is entering the defining stage with one finalist already confirmed and another yet to be determined. River was eliminated by Atlético Mineiro and will face the winner between Botafogo and Peñarol in the decisive match, with the Brazilian team leading with a score of 5-0.
"The 'Millonario' was the last Argentine team in competition, but had a disastrous first leg, in which they lost 3-0 and could not recover in the second leg," expressed the coach after the elimination. Meanwhile, Botafogo managed to assert itself with a resounding 5-0 in the first match and will seek to secure its qualification in the encounter in Montevideo.
The final of the Copa Libertadores is scheduled for next Saturday, November 30, at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires. So far, the match time has not been announced, which will be played at River's venue. There have been rumors of a possible venue change due to the low attendance generated by the Brazilian teams compared to other finalists.
