The Boca Juniors forward was alright, but Veríssimo had to be replaced by Michael Phelps.

The introduction of leather subculture into the Copa Libertadores was one thing, but how do we not have a backup jersey in the house? They hosed all the blood right off him.
It looks like they're preserving a beached Phelps right here.
Phelps would later block a shot with his family jewels to preserve the clean sheet in a 3-0 win, setting up a final against Brazilian rival Palmeiras on Jan. 30.
GOAL FOR SANTOS!
Yeferson Soteldo strikes from the near post to give the hosts a 2-0 lead. #Libertadores LIVE NOW ⬇️
