Pincha traveled to visit Timao in Sao Paulo but came up short, earning only the minimum. Now he must win in La Plata to move on to the next round.
Students journeyed to Brazil to face Corinthians at the Neo Chemical Arena in the first leg of the South American Cup 2023 quarterfinals. It is a clash between two storied clubs that have long been strong title contenders. The opening goal went to the Brazilians, who led 1-0.
In a cautious start, both sides approached the game with the sense that this was just the opening chapter of a longer duel. The home team seized the moment, capitalizing on a corner delivered by Matías Rojas within the first quarter of an hour.
Sóa tied the score soon after, with Jose Sosa producing the night’s clearest chance for São Paulo. The Little Prince unleashed a precise free kick from midfield, curling it toward goal, striking the post. The rebound, instead of finding the net, stayed with Cassio, who had already been beaten.
In La Plata, everything will be decided over the next seven days. Eduardo Domínguez’s side must win by more than one goal to advance in ninety minutes. A draw or another defeat would end their cup run.
