If it wasn’t such an obvious marketing stunt and both teams patently giving it little importance and fielding reserve sides the Supercopa Euroamericana might actually have some significance. There is no reason that a clash between the Copa Sudamericana winners and the Europa League cannot be an event, similar to the Club World Cup but in this format it is destined to be ridiculed. Sevilla travelled to Buenos Aires to take on River Plate in the Monumental and it was Marcelo Gallardo’s youngsters that triumphed. Juan Kaprof’s late goal was enough to seal it but given that the match was exclusively on DirectTV (the main sponsor) I didn’t watch it.

River Plate  1 – 0  Sevilla
