International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both São Paulo and Tigre are looking forward to this Copa Sudamericana fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Tigre, who are travelling more than 2200 kilometers to play this game.
Not much time to rest for the home team, as they played a Serie A fixture only three days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Cruzeiro.
