Boca Juniors reaches Copa Sudamericana final with victory at Maracanã
Boca Juniors secured a place in the 2026 Copa Sudamericana final after defeating Vasco da Gama 3-1 at the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Having lost the first leg 1-0 at La Bombonera, the Argentine side overturned the aggregate score to 3-2.
Lautaro Di Lollo opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a header, followed by a goal from Miguel Merentiel in the 34th minute. Although Vasco da Gama’s José Luis Rodríguez reduced the deficit in the 66th minute, Leandro Paredes—returning from a muscle injury—sealed the victory with a long-range strike in the 88th minute.
The final is scheduled for November 21 at the Estadio Metropolitano in Barranquilla, Colombia. Boca Juniors will face the winner of the semifinal between Atlético Mineiro and Montevideo City Torque.
