From very early they arrived at the Olympic Village where the tears of emotion and illusion were not lacking, trying to fulfill the dream of seeing the red and yellow once morest the best on the continent.
Already in the process of the game, suffering the rival’s goal and later the number of options generated by the locals and seeing that the team never gave up and might even have won it.
From less to more
Colo Colo came out better from the start, putting pressure on Deportivo Pereira’s midfield and forcing them to make mistakes, also with constant high pressure, while the Colombians seemed a bit nervous, which might be classified as a first half in the first half. which the Chilean team took advantage of to go up on the scoreboard.
Penalty opponent’s goal
Leonardo Gil was the author of the goal for the caciques, following a penalty charge that had to be repeated and which was initially saved by Aldair Quintana but following invasion by Carlos Ramírez, the Brazilian central defender Raphael Claus ordered the charge once more, which in the second time it was realized.
Pereira from less to more
Matecaña never surrendered in the game following the goal from the Chileans and was physically superior to its rival, who following the wear and tear, was staying and Pereira grew with the intensity and pressure, also he did not despair despite that the goal was not given and the goalkeeper Brayan Cortés began to be the protagonist for his team, which in the end would end up being the figure on the field, avoiding the defeat of the Chileans.
In the plugin you might win
The Risaraldenses overcame the bump in the initial part and in the second half they overcame their rival, who appealed to defend the victory he was getting and to look for the counterattack but physically it was more the Matecaña who did not lower his guard and consistency and trying, gave him the prize to avoid defeat and redeem a point at Hernán Ramírez Villegas.
The changes gave a hand
Professor Alejandro Restrepo moved his chips and refreshed the squad with variants, going all or nothing to go looking for at least the tie. Kevin Palacios, who has added a few minutes in the league, was one of the most outstanding when entering the field and taking advantage of a worn-out defense and with dribbling to create danger.
In addition, Yilmar Velásquez was once once more seen providing solidity in the midfield, which leaves good feelings following the variation of Jhonny Vásquez who once once more had to retire due to injury.
