At Boca Juniors they look with respect to Deportivo Cali prior to the debut in the Copa Libertadores: “It's a difficult group”

Deportivo Cali will begin its participation in the 2022 CONMEBOL Libertadores Cup against one of the most difficult teams on the continent, Boca Juniors. The second most titled team in the continental tournament will have to travel to the city of Cali to face the team led by Rafael Dudamel, who is weak in the Colombian league but who hopes to make a clean slate in the most important club tournament on the continent.

Teófilo Gutiérrez, who has faced the Argentinian team on different occasions wearing the jersey of teams such as Racing and River Plate, will be teófilo Gutiérrez for the duel against the xeneizes, but these commitments have been characterized by controversies, expulsions, goals and assists.

The Colombian striker has faced the historic Argentine team several times. In total there are 12 matches in which he has met Boca and the balance is three wins, five draws and four losses.
