Melgar and Internacional play the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana this Thursday, 4th, in Peru; both teams have reason to be confident in the classification
melt x International face each other for the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana this Thursday, 4th, at 19:15 (Brasilia time) in Arequipa, Peru. In good phases, the two teams start the confrontation that is worth a spot in the semifinal of the competition, confident. While Internacional tries its second championship in the tournament, the Peruvian team seeks its first conquest of the continental trophy.
Melgar is increasingly gaining space on the national scene of its country. Despite having won only two Peruvian titles, the last in 2015, this year the club has already won the first round (Apertura), a conquest that normally gives a direct place in the final of the tournament, despite some complications in the rule. In the second half, the team is fifth in the table and comes from two consecutive victories to face the Brazilian team.
Meanwhile, Colorado also has its reasons for maintaining confidence. Made it 3-0 in Atlético-MG, current Brazilian champion, at the weekend and occupies the sixth position of the championship, glued to the G4 of a table still quite tangled up. In addition, the team will have the laps of Alan Patrick and Taisonwho come back from injury and traveled with the rest of the squad to the place of the match.
The teams, which have never faced each other in history, had different campaigns in the tournament. While Melgar eliminated the Deportivo Cali winning the first game at home and only managed the 0 to 0 away, Inter suffered a little more and had to win 4 to 1, in turn, from lap lap in the decisive game after a 2-0 defeat in Chile.
