The Clasico Caleño Goes Red.
By: Mauro |It was a real treat to have two cross town rivals play each other in this First Round of Copa Sudamericana play (The GreNal rivalry on Wednesday was pretty cool too).

LIVE @ 4pm PST on Fox Sports Español. Gamecast here. Online TV here.
Botafogo are coming into this match with their spirits surprisingly high. I wrote a piece on the state of their club but that was about three weeks ago.
