What happens if Boca finishes second in its 2024 Copa Sudamericana group?

For the 6th and last date of the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana 2024, valid for Group D, Boca Juniors will receive Nacional de Potosílooking to get into the next phase: “Xeneize” can finish first, second or be eliminated as third, all depending on this result and what happens in the Fortaleza-Trinidense.

It will be a key clash for Boca’s semester: they must tie to qualify as second, or win if they want to go for first place in the Group D of the South American Cup. The Bolivian team will go to the Bombonera starting at 9 p.m. in search of classification since they are only one point ahead of Martínez’s team, so they depend on themselves to qualify.

Taking into account that it is very possible that Fortaleza, leader with 11 points, ends up as the leader, since Boca has eight and would need to win and hope that the Brazilian is defeated, many fans began to wonder what would happen if the Boca player finishes in second place. We tell you.

If Boca finishes second in Group D of the Copa Sudamericana, instead of qualifying for the round of 16 of the competition, as every group winner will do, they will enter the round of 16where they must play one-on-one against one of the third parties in the Copa Libertadores de América.

This is the most likely thing to happen, taking into account that in the event that Fortaleza draws its match and Boca emerges victorious, even so the blue and gold team will surely not be able to be first, since the current goal difference is +6 for the Brazilian and 0 for the Argentine club.
