International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Defensa y Justicia and Santos are looking forward to this Copa Libertadores fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Defensa y Justicia and Santos.

Santos have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
