Magellan he was prematurely out of the race in the South American Cupwhen falling this Thursday for 3-2 in his visit to César Vallejo on the penultimate date of Group A.

If he won the “Academy” he could maintain a share of illusion in the face of the definition of this phase, also taking into account that he was given a series of results that would entangle Botafogo or Liga de Quito.

However, in the debut of Mario Salas as DT of the cast “Carabelero” the approach did not turn out in the best way, since the Peruvian squad took the advantage after three minutes of play with the goal by Aldair Fuentes.

Everything would become more cloudy for those led by the “Commander” with the expulsion of Fernando Piñero in the 32′ minute and then the second for the local with a perfect free kick from Jairo Velez at 35′, although there was a response with the discount at 42′, the work of a lucid conquest of cue Carlos Villanueva.

In the second half the pupils of Sebastián Abreu they managed the advantage and resisted the attempts of the national team to go to equality, something that collapsed with the goal of Yorleys Mena in the 80’s, which sentenced everything despite the fact that Yorman Zapata close the gap again with a penalty in the 89th minute.

This way, Magallanes was bottom of Group A with only three points, in which he will say goodbye with a visit to Botafogo in Brazil on June 29.

César Vallejo, meanwhile, climbed to third place although without options, so he will also close his participation against Liga de Quito in Ecuador.
