😓 Draws and more draws in the Sudamericana round

The opening matchday of the Copa Sudamericana played its final games, leaving three draws in the four matches of the day. The away sides took advantage and picked up points against teams that failed to make the most of playing at home. 

Botafogo couldn't get it done at home

It was not the best day for the Brazilian teams, and O Glorioso was no exception. They went behind early but managed to respond so they would not leave empty-handed. Botafogo will face a tough opponent on matchday two when they travel to take on Racing. 

América scored two goals but ended up drawing

América was the only team to score, though unfortunately one of those goals ended up in their own net. Los Diablos Rojos salvaged a point away to Macará and are now already thinking about hosting Alianza Atlético on matchday two.

Surprise in Venezuela

Carabobo finished the matchday at the top of Group H, pulling off a surprise home win over Bragantino. With an early goal, Carabobo withstood the Brazilian attacks and has made the group more interesting.
