The Academy seeks a bold resurgence in Rancagua as it faces the Azucenas, who have opened Group A with a perfect run.
El Teniente stadium will host the clash between Magellan and Liga de Quito on Tuesday the 23rd, a fixture matching the fourth group-stage date of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana.
The side under Nicolás Núñez arrives after a 2-2 draw with César Vallejo in Rancagua, which complicated their hopes of reaching the Round of 16 and left them third in Group A with two points.
Meanwhile, the Azucenas left no marks on their visit to Rio de Janeiro against Botafogo. Despite that, they sit atop the group with seven points, two clear of the chasing pack led by the Mistao.
It’s worth noting that the Academy were defeated on the second matchday by leaders Luis Zubeldía at the Rodrigo Paz Delgado, a game highlighted by a brace from José Angulo and several goals from Mauricio Martínez and Fernando Piñero, including an own goal.
In the broader context, the Ecuadorian club now holds the distinction of being the team with the most matches played (82), most goals scored (125), and most wins (39) in the continental tournament. They also boast eight consecutive league matches without a loss, consisting of five victories and three draws.
