In a clash between champions, Colombians and Chileans have joined forces in an area favored by Boca.
They couldn’t open at the top Group F of the Copa Libertadores, still with Boca and Monagas awaiting the premiere: Pereira And Colo Coloin Colombia, their participation in the most prestigious tournament in South America at club level began with a one-goal draw that postponed the highlights for the following days.
The champions of the coffee country and Chile respectively know the xeneize power, so they could not sleep a wink at a very humid debut, at altitude and with conditions that – at least on paper – the Cacique, who wants to star in the Mano history at the top moves, and so he began by demonstrating from the start with an accumulation of arrivals at the door of a correct Aldair Quintana, who only failed to foul Bolados and who could not save Leonardo Gil’s penalty, which had to be repeated by a first invasion by Carlos Ramírez.
In the complement, Matecaña grew, between the support of his impetuous fans and beautiful transitions from defense to attack, and that coincided with the decline of an albo increasingly withdrawn, to the point that Ángelo Rodríguez matched the panorama 9 ‘from the end from regular time to no one’s surprise: before and after the last goal, Brayan Cortés stood out with saves for all tastes, and the champion of America returns to Santiago with a point when it could have been three but also nil.
90′ Courteous! Indio is a providential figure of the night in Pereira, avoiding both the corner and the scoreless shot of Larry Angulo with his chest, who easily beat the White defense.
81’GOOOOOOOOOOOL! Aladesanmi turned and Ángelo Rodríguez ran over the partial equalizer from Pereira, who had been looking for him for some time.
77′ Courteous! Another one from Iquiqueño albo, who with his feet prevented the ball from entering which Aladesanmi barely pushed, albeit in a small area.
66′ GILL! Fuentes crossed, Colorado hit him first and the ball went wide. Colo Colo is fascinated, but continues to create opportunities.
52′ WITH THE FEET! Quintana in extremis avoided a goal from the inside edge of Damián Pizarro in a back and forth game.
50′ PRECISELY PROTECTED! Brayan flew to the right to send a left-footed long shot from Carlos Ramírez to the corner, who became captain after Vásquez went off.
45 + 5 ‘The first half ended with a partial celebration of Colo for the slightest difference.
35′ REMARKABLE QUINTANA! The Colombian goalkeeper dodged the second of the albos by double-checking a clear and scoreless chance from Marcos Bolados, assisted by the unbound Fuentes.
24’GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! LEONARDO GIL! Colorado was not mistaken on the second chance and with an instep shot into the center of Quintana’s goal, he passed the goalkeeper who chose to throw himself left again.
20 & # 39; Carlos Ramírez invaded the area and the launch from 12 steps is repeated.
19′ QUINTANA HAS STOPPED IT! Leonardo Gil gave him a cross and in double instance the former Colombia national team showed off on the floor.
17′ LAY UP AND PUNISHMENT! Gil hired out Bolados and Aldair Quintana hit him. Raphael Claus did not hesitate to charge a penalty kick.
2 & # 39; Damian Pizarro missed it! The cadet placed a clumsy shot in extremis in the first of the Albo.
