- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Boca Juniors will face O'Higgins on Thursday, July 30, in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana 2026 playoffs to determine who advances to the round of 16. The match is scheduled for 21:30 Argentina time at the Estadio El Teniente de Rancagua in Chile, with Colombian referee Wilmar Roldán officiating.
Boca enters the game with a 1-0 advantage following a victory in the first leg at La Bombonera, where Miguel Merentiel scored the only goal. Despite this lead, the Argentine club faces significant pressure after suffering a 3-0 defeat against Deportivo Riestra in the opening match of the Torneo Clausura. O'Higgins also arrives following a recent domestic setback, having lost 2-0 to Deportes Concepción in the Chilean First Division.
Regarding personnel, Boca midfielder Carlos Palacios is expected to miss the trip due to an adductor injury; however, Leandro Paredes returns to the squad after a period of rest. The match will be broadcast via DSports and the DGO platform.
