DEbido to an inslita decision of Conmebol, which for the First previous round of the South American Cup imposed that the classified is defined with a single match and the locala is raffled in which one of the 2 protagonists are favored, Once Caldas receive Millionaires To know the first classified from Colombia to the group stage. Although it has never been clear why this decision is taken, it is argued that it is due to calendar and logstic issues.
I extract that, While the clubs in Brazil and Argentina enter the main phase directly and without going through a repechage between clubs of the same PAS, the 4 clubs of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Per, Uruguay and Venezuela must face each other to a Nico Party so that only 2 pass from each federation. And in the case of the Blues, which were the best classified from 2025 in the local league, they will visit the white team of Manizales, which was fortunate to obtain that locala for the aforementioned draw.
But leaving aside the repairs and critical to the organization, the most attractive of this series is that in the Duel Once Caldas vs. Millionaires will face the 2 maximum Colombian scorer in history. Falcao Garca (350 goals), fulfilling the dream of playing with the team ‘Ambassador’ of which he was always a fan, while Dayro Moreno (349) is with the ‘White White’ in which I emerged for water and that is your heart of the heart.

Although there is an authorization for the assistance of bars and visitor public, to be a small sector of the Palographic Stadium of Manizales, having Mayora of fans of the premises and with the obvious advantage of playing at home.

Falcao Garca and Dayro Moreno return to Conmebol international competitions
In this return to the football of South America, Radamel Falcao Garca relive those first years as a professional which had in River Plate between 2004 and 2009. At that time and for the old format, the first half of the year played the Copa Libertadores and in the second semester the South American was carried out.
Because ‘El Tigre’ was able to play the Libertadores in 2007, 2008 and 2009, while in 2006, 2007 and 2008 participated in the South American. Precisely, on this return to the American continent the historical scorer of the Colombia Jug 9 games and Marc 5 goals. The last one was in the 2-2 quarter-final draw 2009, when he put the second of River.
On the other hand, Dayro Moreno’s career took him for several clubs in Colombia and the rest of the continent as a national athletic, between 2017 and 2018, and Crdoba workshops, in 2019. But with Once Caldas he has a history of having played the Libertadores 2004, 2005, 2010 and 2011, but never played the South American Cup.
Then, the last goal in a Conmebol competition with the ‘White White’ was for the round of 16 against Cruzeiro in Brazil in the 2-0 that closed the key 3-2 in favor of those of Manizales.
This is the statistical and scorer ingredient that has this strange key, only one match, between Once Caldas and Millionaires for the 2025 South American Cup. And the one that passes this series must wait for the raffle to be held on March 17 to know the rivals of the group stage.
