Still without winning in the Copa Sudamericana, Cruzeiro no longer depends solely on him to advance directly to the round of 16 of the competition. After three rounds, Fernando Seabra’s team has the complicated life in Group B.
With the draw against Unión La Calera, in Concepción, Chile, Cruzeiro reached three points and continued in third position in the bracket. The Chileans are in second place, with four points.
The aggravating factor for Cruzeiro was the Universidad Católica’s victory against Alianza, away from home. The result left the Ecuadorians isolated in the lead, with seven points, while the Colombians are at the bottom, with one point.
What does Cruzeiro need to do to be a leader?
To be the leader of the group, in the scenario in which it will depend on fewer combinations of results, the team from Cruzeiro will have to win the three remaining games and “dry” Universidad Católica against Alianza or Unión La Calera, both in Ecuador.
The second-placed team in each South American group will compete in a round-trip playoff. On occasions, the teams will face the third placed teams in the Copa Libertadores groups.
Cruzeiro’s next game in the South American
For the 4th round of Group B, Cruzeiro will visit Alianza on Tuesday (7/5), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), in Valledupar, Colombia.
