Independiente - Goias Second Leg

On Wednesday night, Goias will enter Estadio Libertadores de America in the Buenos Aires south suburb of Avellaneda (literally across a parking lot from Estadio Juan Domingo Peron, home of eternal rival Racing Club "the Academy") looking to maintain the two goal advantage gained in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final. Racing supporters have an additional reason to root for Goias to keep Independiente from scoring two goals: the Sudamericana champion is now automatically entered into the Copa Libertadores 2011 (ironically taking the spot away from Racing, likely the last qualifier from Argentina based on this results this season).

Concurrently, the Apertura comes to an end in two weeks, making this weekend's games critical for how the title will be defined. Estudiantes faces Argentinos tonight, with the chance to maintain their lead on the line. Tomorrow, Velez Sarsfield plays already-Libertadores-qualified Godoy Cruz, and can tie or take the lead based on the result of today's game.

Copa Davis

France needs to win one singles match tomorrow (Monfils vs Djokovic or Simon vs Tipsarevic) to hoist the Ensaladera de Plata in Belgrade. Great way to conclude the indoor tennis season.
