National of Uruguay They suffered until the last moment to qualify for the Copa Libertadores. The Uruguayan team eliminated Always Ready in agony and closed the list of the 32 teams who will compete in the most important tournament on the continent. In addition, it was placed in Pot 4 along with the Chilean teams.
The “Bolso” managed to open the scoring at the beginning and immediately merged with the feat. Leandro Lozano seven minutes into the game was in charge of making it 1-0 at the Gran Parque Central Stadium.
The surprise came at the end of the first half: Darlison Rodrigues took advantage of a cross in the heart of the Uruguayan area and with an accurate shot beat Luis Mejia. The former Unión Española had been a figure but might not prevent the equalizer.
With this result, Always maintained the advantage since they won 1-0 in the first leg. So Álvaro Recoba had no choice but to risk his life and send the entire team to attack.
Strategy that barely allowed it to achieve its objective. This is because towards the end, and following a shower of crosses into the outside area, Mateo Antoni nailed an accurate header in the 93rd minute and took the decision to penalties.
From the twelve steps, Revenge arrived for Mejía who blocked Marcelo Suárez’s shot. The former Unión Española was decisive since Nacional hit all his shots and finally Rubén Bentancourt closed the definition 5-4.
