Before the start of the twelfth round of Torneo Clausura action, I thought I’d give HEGS readers a chance to catch up the Argentine clubs in the Copa Sudamericana. Apologies that these videos weren’t posted after the matches in question, but I’ve had a weekend full of deadlines and, with spring very much in the air in Buenos Aires, was in more of a mood to get some sun than to be making blog posts. Anyway. Vélez Sarsfield and Arsenal de Sarandí both went through to the quarter-finals last week, whilst Godoy Cruz were eliminated on penalties by Universitario of Peru. All the goals are right here.
Vélez Sarsfield 1 – 1 Universidad Católica (CHI) (Vélez win 3-1 on agg)
Arsenal Fútbol Club 3 – 2 Club Olimpia (PAR)
Club Universitario de Deportes (PER) 1 – 1 Club Deportivo Godoy Cruz Antonio Tomba (Universitario win 3-2 on penalties after 2-2 aggregate draw)
