Attention América de Cali: Racing eyeing up Duván Vergara
América de Cali is in the midst of defining the League, while having on the horizon the challenge of the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, against Bahía. But the squad led by Jorge Da Silva could suffer significant losses for the next semester. Duván Vergara in the sights of Racing According to Pipe Sierra, the interest of Racing in the América de Cali winger is real, after rumors grew. Advertisement The journalist also clarified that América de Cali is not willing to negotiate until the end of the season. Racing Club qualified for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, to be played in August, and intends to strengthen itself to compete in the continental tournament. It is also said that Racing and América maintain direct contact, without agents or intermediaries, due to the agreement made last year for Juan Fernando Quintero. For América, it would be a very significant loss, considering one of the most unbalancing players in the squad, as well as an experienced reference. In addition to Racing, it has also been reported that Duván Vergara would be on the radar of his rival in Avellaneda, Independiente de Vaccari, and he could also be sought after from Brazil.

📹 Corinthians fall short, lose and are out of the Sudamericana
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Corinthians needed to win on Argentine soil to avoid depending on a slip-up from América de Cali. They faced a Huracán side that—focused on the upcoming Apertura final in Argentina—rested nine of their regular starters in the initial lineup. But Timão didn't even do their part: they lost 1-0 and are ELIMINATED from the Copa Sudamericana. They were actually qualified for a moment during the unexpected partial defeat of the Colombian team to Racing. But they were left out after América—who had won only one game in Group C—found a 1-1 equalizer in the 95th minute. This exit comes after Corinthians had already failed to reach the group stage of the Libertadores. Check out the best moments of the match below (Available only in Brazil) They had the ball, but... Corinthians had more possession already in the first half. But they struggled to create against a well-organized opponent in their own half. It was a game more 'fought' than 'played' before halftime. The best chance of the first half was Sequeira's, who was denied by Hugo Souza. Timão only really threatened when Martínez found himself in a good position, but sent it over the bar. Huracán scores, unexpected goal and tension and... ELIMINATION! Dorival bet on Talles Magno for the second half. But saw Huracán strike lethally before the second minute. Recovered and out for two months, Garro was brought on earlier than expected. Corinthians needed at least a draw, since América de Cali was also stumbling. Garro's entrance—back after two months—breathed new life into Timão. The Argentine midfielder even nearly scored from a free kick. Then the unexpected happened in Colombia. After a completely misguided play by goalkeeper Soto, Fonseca pounced on the rebound and scored for Racing—who were being completely dominated. Timão complained about a penalty on Garro. And kept trying. At the same time, América de Cali fought in front of their fans against the great performance of Amade and his teammates. Their fight was rewarded in the 95th minute, when the Corinthians match had already ended. Jean Pestaña was the hero for Cali. And the villain for the black-and-whites. FINAL situation in the group 📊 Huracán was already qualified. And secured first place—and a direct spot in the round of 16—by reaching 14 points. América de Cali struggled, but earned a point against Racing, celebrated Corinthians' defeat, and advanced. They finished with the same eight points, but go to the playoffs for having a better goal difference (two to zero). On Sunday (the 1st), Timão will host Vitória at Neo Química Arena. This match is for the 11th round of the Brasileirão—the last before the break for the World Cup. 📸 EITAN ABRAMOVICH - AFP or licensors

Tulio Gómez, the majority shareholder of América de Cali, gave an interview to the program Deportes sin Tapujos, and addressed several current issues of the Scarlet club.

"We had to play on Sunday for the League because Conmebol has the Pascual and they didn't lend us another stadium," Gómez clarified, taking the opportunity to talk about the dream of having their own stadium: "The América stadium project requires managing funds, for now, I don't think we can have it in the Centenary year".
