Barracas Central 🔴⚪
The Argentine side is playing in the Sudamericana after posting the sixth-best overall campaign among the teams that failed to qualify for the Libertadores — taking the last available spot.
And it marks another achievement in its already century-old history.
A club once presided over by the controversial Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia, the current AFA president, Barracas has only been in the top flight since 2022.
This season, the team has played 13 matches, with four wins, five draws, and four losses.
One of those matches was in the Copa Argentina, which ended in elimination on penalties against Temperley.
The main standout on the pitch is wing-back Rodrigo Insúa, son of Rubén Insúa, Barracas’ head coach.
Vasco 💢
After a strong run under Renato Gaúcho, Cruz-Maltino was beaten by Botafogo in the last Brasileirão round.
And the decision was made to use a reserve side against Barracas.
Renato did not even travel. Marcelo Salles, known as Fera, will be in charge of an alternate lineup.
There will be three center-backs and golden opportunities for Wallace Falcão, Avellar, and JP.
Matheus França, meanwhile, has a chance to win over the fans.
