Boca Juniors will host Deportivo Recoleta on Tuesday, August 11, in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 16. The match is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Peru time at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó, since Boca cannot use La Bombonera for the fixture.
Boca reached this stage after eliminating O'Higgins on penalties in the previous round. Recoleta arrives after finishing first in Group D, a result that sent the club directly into the round of 16 without needing a playoff.
