Argentinian club Boca Juniors can win the Copa Libertadores for the seventh time by reaching the final for the first time since 2007.

Boca Juniors from Buenos Aires will meet Fluminense from Rio de Janeiro in the final of the Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent of the Champions League.

A day after the Brazilians, the traditional club from Argentina followed. He won the semi-final second leg against Palmeiras 4–2 in a penalty shootout, preventing the fourth all-Brazilian final in a row.

First title in 16 years

Regular time ended at 1-1 after a 0-0 draw in the first leg. Veteran star Edinson Cavani had fired Boca Juniors ahead, but the Uruguayan’s nerves gave way from the penalty spot – with no negative consequences for his side.

On November 4, Diego Maradona’s former team overtook record winners and city rivals Independiente with a seventh title – their first since 2007. Fluminense is aiming for its first victory in its second final at home to the Maracana. (SDA/men)
