Gamero’s men continued a perfect performance in the South American Cup and they liquidated Peñarol.
It was not an easy stop for the Ambassador, as at the front was the leader of the Uruguayan championship, who is having a great local campaign with Alfredo Arias, but who already came with a victory on his back in the South American Cup and had to come at all costs win to get out of the group background. For this reason, the victory in the Champion of the Century was complete.
And he did it with all the arguments already known in the Colombian league that have him in the top positions and as one of the strongest candidates for the title, since the visitor status did not weigh on him at all and it was the Carbonero who looked uncomfortable for his people, flat in its proposal and with minimal arrivals at the Montero arch.
Millonarios’s usefulness and effectiveness once again shined and managed their performance thanks to the good moment of Macalister and Cortés who were responsible for generating much of the play, through the center and to the left, supported by Arias, who made the local defence. Cataño didn’t shine, but added; Castro did not score, but assisted, Vásquez and Giraldo controlled so that the defense did not make higher demands. He calmly “defended” with the ball in the opposing field. Thus, a group solid and superior was in Charrúa territory to celebrate.
They only need one rival in the group and that will be América de Minas Gerais in El Campín in a few weeks, a chance to round themselves out in international competition and look for a victory that will secure their passage to the round. of 16 finals and allowing him to split the effort in the competition to reach the semi-final minimum.
