so always very excited to cover South America we have the quarterfinals with
00:07
eight teams that are some of the favorites in South America seven of them
00:11
have won the the finals before unfortunately no Boca Juniors but we
00:16
have their big opponents their big rivals I see you're smiling I know why
00:19
River Plate. River Plate vs Colo Colo what a match 1-1 defensive resilience
00:24
midfield battles I think is what ultimately defined this match we had
00:28
River Plate and Colo Colo in a 1-1 draw obviously showcasing both teams
00:32
tactical brilliance but also the intensity the intensity that we saw in
00:36
each and each one of their players but this isn't the only game making waves as
00:41
you said a lot of exciting football coming out of the tournament. Exactly
00:44
how about Brazilian matchup between two big teams in the region Botafogo and
00:48
Sao Paulo. Botafogo the most insistent team and how about an old Brazilian
00:52
matchup two giants in the region Botafogo the most insistent team with
00:56
22 shots against Sao Paulo a game that ended up scoreless at Olympic Stadium at
01:02
the Nilton Santos Stadio Olimpico but then again the future of this
01:07
series will be fine in Sao Paulo. Going to our next game the champions of the
01:11
tournament Fluminense got a chance to face off against Atlético Mineiro.
01:15
They did indeed with only three shots on target and possession more or less I
01:19
would say split down the middle pretty much you know midway we saw big names
01:24
people like John Arias, Thiago Silva, Hulk, Marcelo, Paulinho all household names
01:30
great footballers kind of not performing as we thought you would we would see
01:35
you know in a match with so many amazing players legends. So plenty more coming up
01:39
then again in this edition of Copa Libertadores seven of the eight teams in
01:43
this round have won the tournament from one of my favorite competitions to my
01:48
favorite competition. There you go. Liga MX you see I'm happy right? I can see it
01:52
You know why? I know why. One word. America. Yes I have two words. Club America.
01:58
Finally getting back on track. So the league's competition was rough for them
02:02
that unfortunate exit against Colorado Rapids they lost two games in a row but
02:08
there it seems that they're back in track and they took care of the derby
02:11
El Gran Classico against Chivas de Guadalajara then against Atlas it seems
02:15
that they're getting back on track. For sure America definitely the team to beat.
02:19
Another interesting match we saw Toluca versus Tijuana. Big scoreline there
02:24
Toluca taking home four goals.
