Fans from Argentina and Brazil are eyeing a spot in the continental final as the Copa Libertadores semifinals heat up. The first leg of the 2023 semi between Boca Juniors and Palmeiras will take place this Thursday, with Boca hosting the Brazilian side at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires beginning at 9:30 PM local time, which is 2:30 AM Friday in Spain. Ticket holders and viewers can follow the Boca versus Palmeiras clash live as the teams push toward a place in the final match.
The Argentine club, which is set to host River Plate in the domestic League Cup next Sunday, advanced to the semis after a hard fought quarterfinal against Racing Club de Avellaneda. The two quarterfinal legs finished goalless, but Boca prevailed in a penalty shootout with goalkeeper Sergio Romero delivering standout performances in the shootout to guide the team through to the semifinals.
On the other side of the bracket, Palmeiras eliminated Deportivo Pereira to secure a spot among South America’s last four. The Brazilian side now travels to Buenos Aires hoping to secure an advantageous result that would set them up to finish the tie at home in the return leg.
The winner of this semifinal will meet the victor from the other Brazilian pairing between Fluminense and Internacional in the final. The group stage tie between these two clubs produced a 2-2 draw, adding to the drama as both sides look to clinch the championship in the final match.
