Although few were betting on a victory, Junior de Barranquilla was forceful in Brazil and brought a vital victory in its initial aspiration to overcome the group stage.
Carlos Bacca, whom many wanted to beheaded the previous year, became the figure of commitment following managing to score two of the three goals with which the team won the victory.
The first half of the game once morest Botafogo from Brazil, if you want the toughest rival in group D, Junior was impeccable for 44 minutes.
Only at the end of the first half, a lack of concentration led to fears of the worst when the Brazilian team’s discount arrived.
For the second half, Arturo Reyes played a more intelligent game, leaving the Brazilians to experience their own desperation to come back.
Second part of the forceful game in Brazil was very intelligent
Arturo Reyes did not go crazy with the score of 3-1 and for the second half of the game he was much more cautious.
The strategist knew that the Brazilians, hurt by the partial defeat, were going to go all out, so he reinforced his defensive and midfield lines.
It was key not to let yourself be marked, so that the game did not become tight. The first 15 minutes of the second half were complicated, however, Santiago Mele did his thing.
The Junior goalkeeper made himself big under the three posts and prevented Botafogo from getting closer on the scoreboard.
In the end, Junior ended up controlling, suffering little and staying with three key points that left them leaders of group D with three points and a difference of plus two.
Second place goes to Universitarios with the same points but plus one in goal difference, while LDU de Quito and Botafogo close the group.
Junior’s winning goals were the work of Carlos Bacca two and Gabriel Fuentes the other, while the discount was the work of Hugo.
Junior will visit América de Cali this Saturday, April 6, at the Pascual Guerrero and then, for the Libertadores, he will receive Universitario, the second of the group, at the Metropolitano.
