Match Preview
Atletico Mineiro won the first leg 3-0 at Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte on October 14. Reinier opened the scoring in the 36th minute, Bernard added the second just before halftime, and Thiago Borbas sealed the result in the 80th minute.
The math for Wednesday is stark. Torque must win by three goals just to force a penalty shootout, and only a win by four or more sends them through in regulation. Any draw, any narrow win, or even a two-goal win sends Atletico Mineiro to the final.
The winner faces the winner of the other semifinal, between Vasco da Gama and Boca Juniors, in the final at the Estadio Metropolitano in Barranquilla, Colombia.
Recent Form
Form below covers all competitions. Atletico Mineiro is unbeaten in eight matches, a run that includes the 3-0 first-leg win and a 1-0 Brazilian league victory over Coritiba on Saturday, October 17.
Torque’s last outing was a 2-1 league defeat to Albion, but their home form in this tournament is the warning for Atletico. In the quarterfinals, Torque lost 2-0 at Cienciano in Cusco, then won the return 3-0 at this same stadium.
Atletico produced the mirror image in their own quarterfinal. Beaten 2-0 at Santos in the first leg, they won 4-2 at home and advanced 3-1 on penalties. Both semifinalists, in other words, have already rescued a lost tie in this tournament.
Key Storylines
Salomon Rodriguez is the player Atletico has to stop. The Torque striker leads this tournament’s scoring chart with seven goals, and he scored twice in the 3-0 quarterfinal comeback against Cienciano at the Centenario.
At the other end, Gabriel Delfim keeps writing his own story. The young Atletico goalkeeper saved three penalties in the quarterfinal shootout against Santos, then kept Torque scoreless in the first leg, including a big first-half save from Rodriguez.
Atletico also carries recent history in this competition. They lost the 2025 final to Lanus on penalties, and this is their third straight Sudamericana semifinal. Eduardo Dominguez’s side is one controlled night away from a second straight final.
Torque usually plays at the smaller Estadio Charrua, but the club moved this semifinal to the Centenario, Uruguay’s national stadium. A first CONMEBOL semifinal in club history, a three-goal deficit and a famous venue make for a night with nothing to lose.
Team News
Midfielder Fred missed the first leg for Atletico with a muscle injury, and young midfielder Victor Hugo started in his place in Belo Horizonte. Fred’s recovery was being managed cautiously in the days after that match.
Prediction
Prediction: Atletico Mineiro 2-1. Torque has to chase the game from the first minute, and that urgency should produce a goal at the Centenario. It should also leave the space for Atletico’s counterattack to finish the tie.
