“Tatengue” is second in group H with 5 points, two less than Junior who must play in Rio de Janeiro against Fluminense (4). Oriente Petrolero, from Bolivia, is already eliminated because it lost its first three games.
After the valuable draw at the Maracana stadium with goalkeeper Santiago Mele as the hero, Uruguayan Gustavo Munúa’s team will seek to return to victory and cut a negative streak of five games without winning.

After four defeats in a row, the last at home against Defensa y Justicia (2-1), Unión was left out of the fight to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Professional League Cup and is now focused on fighting for the only place of the South American until the end.
A victory would leave the Santa Fe team in a good place since after receiving the Bolivian team they will play again at home against Fluminense and will close in Colombia against Junior.
