Bolivar and Boca Juniors to meet for Copa Libertadores last 16

Xinhua, March 10, 2016 Adjust font size:

Bolivia's soccer team Bolivar and Argentina's Boca Juniors will meet on Thursday in the Hernando Siles Stadium here for Copa Libertadores de America group match.

The match will be key for the Bolivian side as a win over Boca will keep their dreams of advancing to the knockout stage alive.

"We consider this match key for our hopes. I am sure it's also crucial for Boca because if losing, Boca will remain in the lower end of the group with just two points. We are working hard to get a favorable result," said Bolivar's coach Ruben Insua.

The Argentinian side have already arrived in La Paz with their star forward Carlos Tevez for the match at 20:45 local time on Thursday (00:45 GMT on Friday), which is the third match of the Copa Libertadores' Group 3.

All tickets for the match have been sold out according to Bolivar's announcement. Endit
