This Thursday, La Bombonera dressed up again for the occasion, but there were no answers on the court. Boca and Palmeiras did not take advantage and tied 0-0 in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinals. The series was completely open and will be defined next Thursday, October 5 at the Allianz Parque in San Pablo.

Boca controlled the game during the 90 minutes, generated more than Palmeiras who at no time posed any danger to Chiquito Romero and had several chances to take the lead. In both the first and second half, those led by Jorge Almiron were able to break Weverton's goal, but they were not precise.

The finalist of the Copa Libertadores will be defined next Thursday, October 5 at 9:30 p.m. at the Allianz Parque in San Pablo. On the other hand, Jorge Almiron will have all his players at his disposal after the superclasico against River this Sunday at La Bombonera starting at 2 p.m.

This footage illustrates press conference of Jorge Almiron and Nicolas Figal after the match.
