“It would be a catastrophe, if Capiatá eliminated us” were the words of Boca defender Mariano Echeverría before last night’s Copa Sudamericana Last 16 tie. Now, of course we are only halfway through but Paraguayan side, Deportivo Capiatá will take a 1-0 lead back home after a shock victory in the first leg. Lisandro Magallán’s own goal on the brink of half time proved decisive and for a club that were not even formed until 2008, a win in La Bombonera is a great achievement. Boca now must overturn the result in Paraguay on October 23rd to avoid the complete humiliation.
