Patronato could not stand it and lost in its debut for Libertadores
Patronato lost 2-1 against Atlético Nacional at the Brigadier Estanislao López de Colón stadium in Santa Fe for the first date of Group H of the Copa Libertadores in what was his debut in the competition.
Despite prevailing early with the goal of Mateo LevatoDorlan Pabón twice turned the game around in favor of Atlético Nacional and condemned the Patron to suffer a defeat in his first experience in the most important continental competition.
El Patrón started much better and he went to win it openly. And he reached the goal with a spectacular cross from Matías Ruiz Díaz from afar, and the scorer Levato jumped over everyone and slipped it past goalkeeper Harlen Castillo for the historic 1-0.
Patronato remained in that tune of constantly attacking for the next few minutes, until the Colombians began to gain meters with his full-backs and taking over his own field but without being too oppressive in the pressure, so the man from Paraná was able to hold the result very well until the end of the first half.
However, the complement was the opposite and the Colombian team came out with another face, more aggressive, before a fallen Board of Trustees. A foul by Matías Ruiz Díaz in the box allowed Pabón equalizing the actions from the penalty spot, and later, after a series of defensive rebounds, again Pabón made it 2 to 1.
El Patrón agreed to the Libertadores after winning the Argentine Cup last year. He is currently active in the First National after suffering relegation from the Professional League in 2022.
