Boca Juniors defeats São Paulo 1-0 in Copa Sudamericana first leg

Boca Juniors defeated São Paulo 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarter-finals at La Bombonera. The match's only goal was scored by Miguel Merentiel in the 52nd minute, following a cross from Lautaro Blanco.

São Paulo controlled much of the first half, with Luciano and Jonathan Calleri missing significant scoring opportunities. Boca's goalkeeper Álvaro Montero made key saves to maintain a clean sheet. A potential red card for São Paulo's Domingos Duarte was overturned following a VAR review.

São Paulo faces a difficult second leg at the Morumbí on September 15. The Brazilian side will be without Calleri due to yellow card accumulation and may also be missing Luciano, who left the match with thigh discomfort. São Paulo's manager, Dorival Júnior, expressed confidence in a comeback but emphasized the need for fan support.
