Another Sudamericana night has come and gone, with many groups starting to take shape and no shortage of excitement…
Olimpia is on course for qualification
In one of those matches where winning means everything, Olimpia showed its pedigree and pulled off nothing short of an epic comeback.
Carlos Cuesta scored for Vasco at the end of the first half, but the second half brought a Paraguayan storm. Gamarra equalized, Sandoval turned it around, and Ferreira put the cherry on top to send Olimpia to the top of the group and dreaming of the round of 16.

Bragantino stunned River
No one can deny that River got a huge scare today with Sunday’s final against Belgrano in mind.
Chacho’s team fell behind early through a goal by Vinicius, and in the final play of the match Pereyra managed to level it. A home win was expected, but the fact that they fielded an alternate lineup opened the door for Los Toros to pull off the surprise.
The behavior of Santos fans was disappointing
Without a doubt, one of the night’s best matches was between Peixe and Ciclón. The Brazilians went 2-0 up, and the Argentines equalized in the closing minutes.
However, football took a back seat because of the incident Gustavo Álvarez suffered at the hands of the home fans.
