It was easy for Gary Maia to make it to the Champions League as well lost to her home by Rayon Sport. She just needed a draw to seal qualifying for her group, but now she has to make a double in Algiers (USMA) in the last game on August 29.

The second is clearly more crucial, in terms of prestige, of course, as Gore Maya (with + 17b from the second), has practically already been crowned champion.
