This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. On the last matchday of the group stage of the 2025 South American Cup, América de Cali hosts Racing Club de Montevideo at Pascual team of Jorge Da Silva is in a very delicate situation: it no longer has chances to finish first in the group and therefore can only advance as second, qualifying for the round of 16, which would face them against a third group from the Copa Libertadores. For this, they must wait for the result of the other match, between Huracán and Corinthians, in Buenos Aires. 🇦🇹 ¡𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗔 𝗘𝗟 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟! 🫡🏠 Próximo partido: 🆚 Racing de Montevideo ⚽🏆 CONMEBOL Sudamericana📆 Martes, 27 de mayo 🕢 7:30 p.m.🏟️ Pascual Guerrero 📺 @ESPNColombia — América de Cali (@AmericadeCali) May 26, 2025 🇦🇹 Este escudo se hizo grande con la fuerza y la pasión de su gente. La historia nos enseñó a 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐑 y es momento de demostrarlo una vez más. ¡Mañana, el Pascual nos espera para luchar 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐒! 👹🎟️ Haz parte de la batalla: — América de Cali (@AmericadeCali) May 26, 2025 Regardless of what happens in the other match, América de Cali will decisively aim to beat Racing de Montevideo, a team that has not scored points in the tournament. For this, the club urges all the Scarlet fans to BELIEVE and support the team at Pascual Guerrero. It should be remembered that Huracán is the first in the group with 11 points, Corinthians second with 8, and América de Cali follows them with 7.

If Corinthians loses, América de Cali could qualify second even by drawing at Pascual Guerrero, by goal difference. 📋⚽️ Los convocados por el profe Jorge Da Silva para enfrentar mañana a Racing Club de Montevideo en el Pascual Guerrero, por la fecha 6 de la CONMEBOL Sudamericana 2025. 👹 — América de Cali (@AmericadeCali) May 27, 2025 A few minutes ago, América de Cali released the list of 23 footballers concentrated with the technical staff of Polilla Da Silva for the match that will be from 7:30 pm.

"Results keep coaches in their positions and we must become champions" he assured, putting a bit of pressure on the coach. This Sunday, América de Cali hosts Independiente Medellín at Pascual Guerrero, where they will seek to remain leaders and secure the invisible point ahead of the final quadrangulars. Two days later, they will play for a spot in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, also hosting Racing from Uruguay at home.
