Two clubs chasing Copa Libertadores glory will do battle today in a cup match between San Lorenzo and Bolivar. The semifinal clash scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Pedro Bidegain in Buenos Aires and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Deportes.
Having already confirmed his starting lineup, San Lorenzo manager Edgardo Bauza now looks to one of his strikers to break the hopes of Bolivar. The man bearing that responsibility: Leandro Romagnoli. Bauza, however, understands the importance of not conceding a goal to the opposition. "We have to try and win the match and not worry about goal difference," he said (via El Patagonico). "And if they don't score on us, even better. Logically speaking, whoever plays better wins."
"They [Bolivar] come here with two or three games more and have made goals in all of their games as visitors," he added. "They don't change [their style of play] whether they're home or away. They're a dangerous team."
