Boca Juniors defeated São Paulo 1-0 on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at La Bombonera in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. Miguel Merentiel scored the only goal of the match in the second half, capitalizing on a rebound after the ball hit goalkeeper Rafael. The victory gives the Argentine side a narrow advantage heading into the second leg, which is scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, at the Morumbis stadium in São Paulo. To advance directly to the semifinals, São Paulo must win by two or more goals; a one goal victory would lead to a penalty shootout.
