Libertadores: Argentinos make their point in Cali

On Wednesday 27 February, América de Cali S.A. lost 0-2 to Asociación Atlética Argentinos Juniors in the Copa Libertadores.

Defensor Sporting Club supplied the night’s biggest scoreline, defeating Azul y Blanco Millonarios Fútbol Club S. A. 4-1. Audax Italiano edged Clube de Regatas Brasil 2-1, while Atlético Mineiro won 3-1 at Club The Strongest.

All four games were played on 27 February. The results give Argentinos, Defensor, Audax and Atlético Mineiro victories to carry into the next matchday; the information available does not include group standings or the fixtures ahead, so the wider shape of the competition remains unclear.

That is the limit of this round’s picture, but not an insignificant one. Argentinos took the only away win by two goals, while Defensor made the most emphatic statement on the scoreboard. Audax had the narrowest margin, and Atlético Mineiro also won away. Four matches, four winners: the next set of results will show whether any of those openings become something more.
