The post Varela scores twice, DIM brings home a point from Chile appeared first on Minuto30.
In a complex match, in which the Chilean team sold the tie dearly, Palestino and DIM tied 2-2, at the National Stadium.
DIM
The first half, until before the goal, was cold like the atmosphere in the sports arena, until a header from Joaquín Varela sent the powerful team to the locker room in the first half with the victory.
The first goal of the match was for DIM through Joaquín Varela who returned to the ‘Poderoso’ by getting up and sending the ball into the back of the net.
The goal was in the best style of Varela, who was part of the DIM that reached the final of Colombian soccer against Junior, a spectacular comeback, after the assist of Léyser Chaverra.
In the second half, Palestino quickly equalized the score after a corner kick and a ball that was caught inside the area.
The goal came in the 48th minute through Iván Román, after an assist from Nicolás Linares. The player navigated the area alone and in front of the passivity of the central defenders of the red team.
‘Powerful’ suffering, but with Varela as savior
The headache for the ‘powerful’ team came two minutes later, in a counterattack, in which the Chilean team came in very alert and took advantage of how sleepy DIM came in.
Three minutes later, at 51, it was Jonathan Benitez who was in charge of scoring the second goal for Palestino, after an assist from Benjamín Rojas and then, again, due to the passivity of the central defenders, despite the good construction of the Chileans.
DIM, who was saved from a third goal, saved the day thanks again to Joaquín Varela who, upon his return to the team, scored twice.
In the 93rd minute, taking advantage of a lapse in attention by the defense, he stood up again and headed past the Chilean goalkeeper, sealing the tie.
The return match will be at the Pereira stadium on August 21st from 7:30 pm.
