Despite being a regional tournament, the coach of América Mineiro, Vagner Mancini, put all the artillery on the field, without thinking about the debut of the South American, and almost did not surprise a technically superior rival. The Verdiblanco team raised a 2-0 against thanks to a double from Argentine Martín Benítez, but Hulk put the final 2-3 at the last breath.
Benítez, who went through Vasco da Gama, Gremio and Sao Paulo, is experiencing a great moment of form and is one of the big names in the América Mineiro squad that is looking to do something big on the international stage.
The Argentine midfielder already knows what it is to win the Copa Sudamericana. He won the trophy in 2017, when he defended the colors of Independiente de Avellaneda, who signed a whole ‘Maracanazó’ by beating Flamengo in the final played at the historic stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
It is also expected that against the Uruguayans will be the incisive right-back Arthur, who has just been traded by German Bayer Leverkusen. The 20-year-old defender will probably stay at América until June, when the European transfer market starts.
For its part, Peñarol comes from winning 2-0 against Nacional with goals from Kevin Méndez and Ignacio Laquintana, on the ninth day of the Uruguayan Opening Tournament. The victory allowed them to settle at the top of the championship with 20 points, two above Defensor Sporting and Cerro Largo.
The aurinegro club, one of the greats of South American football, aims high and seeks to improve the result obtained in the 2021 edition of the South American, when it was eliminated in the semifinals by the Brazilian Athletico Paranaense, ultimately champion.
América Mineiro and Peñarol will face each other at the Raimundo Sampaio, better known as the Independencia stadium, at 9:00 p.m. local time on Wednesday (00:00 GMT on Thursday), under the arbitration of the Ecuadorian Guillermo Guerrero. The Chilean Juan Lara will be in the VAR.
