Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Colón & Sportivo Peñarol face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Argentina. All the pre-match information is available here!
These teams have little in common geographically as Sportivo Peñarol have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
