Brazilian domination
The match witnessed an almost absolute domination by Santos, who excelled in managing the confrontation phases and was more focused than his Argentine rival, who looked unusually pale.
Santos translated the field control into the first goal, as Diego Petuca managed to open the scoring at the start of the 16th minute after an organized attack that was successfully concluded by the defensive midfield after a rebound from the Boca Juniors defense.
Despite some modest attempts by the Argentine soccer giant, the first half ended with the hosts in the lead with an unanswered goal.
In the second half, Santos continued his attack approach, taking advantage of his opponent’s confusion and diverging lines.
In two minutes, the Brazilian team managed to sign two goals from Yeverson Sutildo (49) and Lucas Braga (51) to kill Boca’s dreams and make the summit in one direction for the owners of the land.
Frank Fabra added to Boca’s problems by receiving a red card in the 56th minute after an unsportsmanlike shot in which he deliberately attacked a Brazilian player.
Then the game became monotonous, as the Argentine team shrunk in defense and the home team was satisfied with the result after securing a pass to the final.
Restore glories
Santos seeks to regain his glory in the Copa Libertadores after missing a long time in the final.
The Brazilian team last appeared in the final round of the prestigious 2011 continental competition, when it was crowned champion at the expense of the Uruguayan Pinarol.
Santos records his fifth appearance in the final of the “Libertadores”, as he won three titles in 1962 and 1963 under the leadership of Brazilian soccer legend Pelé and 2011, while he lost the final match of 2003 to Boca Juniors of Argentina.
