It's game one of two in the Copa Sudamericana as Estudiantes host Goiás. This is a Round of 16 fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Serie A.
