A Cacique fell into shock little by little and will have to look for two wins in the second round.
From the Monumental Stadium
Colo Colo had a litmus test to show what he’s made of and while he left positive vibes – albeit isolated – he took a beating from a better-armed Boca and will have to row from behind to take his long-awaited spot in the round of 16 of the Cup Liberators.
El Popular was not only beaten in front of his people by an eternal champion and regular entertainer: after the few goals he was not even close to the result, Carlos Palacios’ red card was fatal to his claims, and that sketch of belligerence was completely overshadowed by the calm touch of a visitor who was too comfortable at first thanks to the collection of short cuts by Chiquito Romero, who convinced Almirón and company in difficult moments with separate World Cup stops, the greatest figure of a first period in which the 24,000 attendees felt that the reduction by the minimum was not in accordance with the procedure.
The calculator for eighths
And the fans of the Andean monarch were not so mistaken in their reading: not only did Romero cut short enough, but Boca celebrated the first time by treading his opposition with hierarchy and doubling the average, bringing each of his adventures to the door of the former diluted Manchester United.
Almirón can celebrate Advíncula’s ductility, as both the Peruvian and Villa scored with the substituted leg, and managed to replace his starting players in time for them to arrive fresh into the Superclásico with River. On the other hand, Quinteros is going to regret the lack of variants, but what is presented is not even close to expectations.
The naturalized Bolivian recently moved the bench with 7 minutes left, Damián Pizarro always remained a castaway and the fact that the match was ultimately uncontested speaks volumes about the fact that status not only sheltered one and hindered the other, but that both submitted to the same thing and the winner was not in dispute. And the colo? He swam to shore to die uncontrollably as the Argentine giant laughed out loud thanks to intelligence.
