Racing Club and Cruzeiro Clash in 2024 Copa Sudamericana Final
The 2024 Copa Sudamericana final is set to take place on Saturday, November 23, as Argentina‘s Racing Club faces off against Brazil‘s Cruzeiro at the Estadio General Pablo Rojas in Asuncion, Paraguay. This highly anticipated match marks a significant milestone for both teams, with Racing Club seeking their first continental title since the 1967 Copa Libertadores and Cruzeiro aiming to end their drought since the 1997 Copa Libertadores.
Racing Club has been in impressive form, having won their last five games across all competitions, including a dramatic 4-3 aggregate victory over Corinthians in the semifinals. They have been the top-performing team in the 2024 Copa Sudamericana, with nine wins from 12 games and a tournament-leading 30 goals. Key players such as Adrian Martinez, who is the joint-top scorer in the tournament, and Juan Fernando Quintero are expected to play crucial roles.
Cruzeiro, on the other hand, have had a more inconsistent run, losing two of their last three games across all competitions. However, they have shown resilience, particularly in away games, where they have conceded only one goal in six matches. The Brazilian side will rely on their key attacking trio of Kaio Jorge, Matheus Pereira, and Gabriel Veron, who are set to return after missing the midweek fixture due to domestic suspensions.
The match is expected to be closely contested, with both teams having strong motivations. Racing Club’s home record against Brazilian opponents in this edition of the Copa Sudamericana remains intact, but Cruzeiro’s ability to overcome Lanus in Buenos Aires suggests they are capable of challenging this record. The game will be broadcast in the USA on Fubo, beIN Sports, and other streaming services.
Fans can watch the match live at 3:00 PM ET, with various streaming options available, including a free trial on Fubo. The match promises to be a thrilling showdown for the second-most prestigious club trophy in South America.
