El Rojo couldn’t get strong at home at the start of the Cup, they lost to a direct rival like Sabalero and relegation is threatening again.
Independent they couldn’t afford to start the Professional League Cup with a loss, but it happened. At home, against a direct rival, with the reinforcements available, he lost a key game in this battle for sustainability that he must adopt as his main goal for the rest of 2023, in which he has only 13 games left.
And the whistles at the end, common in recent times of the Libertadores de América, were motivated not only by the result, but also by the poor performance of Zielinski’s team, outclassed by Colón for most of the game , who always knew what game he wanted to play and how to get the victory that allowed him to get out of the relegation position by the year table.
The only dangerous situation for the team from Amsterdam in the first half was a shot by Mancuello that Chicco changed direction well. And already in the second half, after several attempts, Sabalero received the penalty that Wanchope Ábila incredibly bumped into the crossbar because he wanted to jab it and, minutes later, the touch of Espínola that broke the offside to give Gorosito’s team the advantage , who had several chances to kill him which he wasted and eventually had to endure a shot from Giménez that was too high, which could have been the draw.
Another defeat for Independiente that brings headaches and forces us to look again at the annual table, while Colón has already reached it and wants to climb further.
