El FBC Melgar tied 0-0 with Internacional from Brazil in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. This result is not favorable because next Thursday they must visit the Brazilian team in Porto Alegre in front of more than 80,000 fans. However, hope remains intact and they will try to reach the semifinals of this international tournament.
Internacional drew away and waits with all their weapons for the conclusion of the tie in Brazil. The red-and-black team needs a victory to reach the semifinals or, in any case, a draw to force a penalty shootout.
Given this, the television network with broadcasting rights, DirecTV, will install a giant screen so that no one misses the exclusive broadcast of the match of the Arequipa team.
