With several unexpected victories, the most important club tournament in South America began.
Copa Libertadores, the most important club tournament in South America, started in a vibrant way, with expected triumphs and others not so expected, but there are situations that characterize this tournament, in which, despite the budgetary differences that may exist between One template and another, no one gives anything.
Barcelona SC surprised Santos FC, the last runner-up and second in the competition, defeating them 2-0 at Vila Belmiro, where the bullfighters have already defeated their competitor in the quarterfinals of the 2017 edition.
Always Ready, a Bolivian club that returned to competition after 52 years, defeated Inter de Porto Alegre. Deportivo Táchira also did its job and defeated the strong Olimpia.
This Wednesday, the matches for the first group stage match continue, in which Strongest-Boca Juniors, Independiente del Valle-Defensa y Justicia and La Calera-Liga de Quito stand out.
