Atlético Nacional fell 2-0 in Pereira in the first leg of the Betplay Cup semi-final, and will now have the complicated task of turning the series around at home at Parque Estadio Sur in Envigado, this Thursday from 3:00 p.m
The Antioquia team is going through a good football moment and this has been demonstrated in the last League games, in which the hand of coach Jhon Bodmer has already begun to be seen, who was precisely ratified this Wednesday in his position as coach. .
It is not the first time that the green team reaches the second game with this type of results and on some occasions they have managed to turn the score around, force penalties and even advance straight.
One of the most memorable comebacks was in the 2004 League final, Junior won at the Metropolitano 3-0 that time, almost ending the series, but the Antioqueños managed to score five goals at the Atanasio and were very close to being crowned. champions. However, when they were leading 5-1, the Sharks scored and took the series to penalties, winning 5-4.
Another series that the green team equaled was precisely in the 2010 Colombia Cup, once morest Águilas Doradas. Those led, at that time by José Fernando Santa, lost 4-0 in the first leg, but at home they equaled the result with a 5-1 score for a 5-5 draw. Dorlan Pabón, who would reappear this Thursday once morest Pereira, was present that time and reported with a double. However, once once more Águilas won the classification on penalties.
A more recent comeback was in the 2017 Apertura final once morest Deportivo Cali. Nacional lost 2-0 at Palmaseca, but under the command of Reinaldo Rueda, the green team took the lead and won 5-1, winning 5-3 in the series to add a new star.
So these epic matches lead us to think that a comeback will be possible once morest the Mateca team, as coach Jhon Bodmer himself stated in the preview of this match.
“The context we are going to live in is that of a rival taking care of its result, it is what I imagine, with players who can hold the ball very well, but we are convinced that we are going to come back and be in the final, God willing,” he said. .
At home, Nacional has not lost to Pereira since September 28, 2008, 0-1. The last time the Mateca team visited Nacional they fell by the score that the green team needs to reach, 2-0, on September 3 with scores from Jéfferson Duque and Nelson Deossa. The latter will not be in the match due to his expulsion in the first leg.
