With a late goal, Fortaleza draws with Boca Juniors and advances to classification in the South American Championship;

The draw away from home was important for Fortaleza. With this result, Leão do Pici remains at the top of Group D, now with 10 points, while Boca Juniors is in second place with eight points won. Thus, Vojvoda’s team reaches the last round depending only on itself to guarantee a direct place in the round of 16. Boca, on the other hand, needs to win and hope for a defeat by Fortaleza in the last round if they want to advance.

In the group stage of the South American Championship, only the first placed team in each group advances directly to the round of 16. Those in second place will compete for a place with the third-placed teams in the Libertadores group stage.

The first half was quite busy, with Boca creating several goal opportunities with Cavani and Merentiel, but finding it difficult to break through the Fortaleza defense and also stopping at João Ricardo.
