minute by minute match for Copa Sudamericana

Junior won, liked and regained the lead in Group H of the Copa Sudamericana. Two goals from Miguel Borja in the first half were enough to win 2-0 against a weak Oriente Petrolero that only woke up in the evening of the match, when the rojiblanco scaffolding was thrown into disarray due to the modifications made.

The ‘Sharks’ went over the Bolivian team and could have thrashed it, taking into account that the goal difference could be decisive in the final day, but options were wasted and the team lost offense with the substitutions.

Junior faced the game as it should: with everything. Without trusting himself, without believing that he had won without playing, without thinking that he would win only by shirt and ‘home’.

He knew that he was superior to his opponent and he went out on the field to prove it, to reflect it in the game and on the scoreboard.

There were some first 10 minutes of mistakes in the search for the opposite goal, especially when playing towards Fabián Viáfara, who had problems receiving the ball, but neither the side nor the team lost confidence and little by little what was glimpsed happened.

A play by Dany Rosero, in which he eluded several men and advanced to the edge of the Oriente area, finished plugging in and injecting daring into the hosts. The defender gave in to Lara Carlos Esparragoza and the youth squad fired one of the rifle shots that characterized him at Barranquilla FC. The ball crashed into the crossbar.

After that action, the team flowed better, became more animated and the goals began to arrive. The first was a clear penalty on Albornoz. Miguel Borja opted for power and set the cash register ringing.

The Cordovan celebrated excitedly and with a special dedication to Nilson Castrillón, his partner who was the target of criticism from the fans and the press after the 4-2 defeat against Jaguares, in which he was involved in three goals. Borja pointed it out and made the fans understand that he should support it.

Borja himself, already with Junior turned into a whirlwind, conquered the second in a play that he himself deepened with a change of front. It was a beautiful target due to the collective conception and the showy touches in its last section.

Yesus Cabrera let Borja’s shipment go by and sank for Albornoz to enable it down the flank. The Cartagena player raised his head and sent the ball to the area, where Gabriel Fuentes, who remained active and successful in the game, participated with a taquito before the round reached Borja, who did not forgive and celebrated with a powerful and tight shot to the goalkeeper’s right post. great goal

Junior dominated and submitted at will to an East that looked groggy physically and footballingly. Omar Albornoz was able to hit another shot at the conclusion of a brilliant series of touches, but he lacked forcefulness and the ball went through the roof.

Already in the second half, the visitor tried to cool down and improve with a couple of substitutions, but they had no effect. Junior continued to command and with the latent possibility of increasing the score, although he did drop a change.

A couple more from the substitutions made by Juan Cruz Real. The team lost its lucidity from midfield up. It did not flow the same, despite the fact that spaces were still being presented for billing in the rival network.

The entry of Jhon Pajoy was not noted. And Fabián Sambueza and Edwuin Cetré were left missing a penny for the peso in their attempts. The attacker wasted a very clear one that Cabrera put on him.

Cruz Real considered the match resolved and, thinking about what was to come, made changes that upset the team’s actions in all its lines. The East, which seemed dead, revived and in the throes of the game approached with some danger. Fortunately, they did not end up regretting an away goal that would have reduced the advantage in goal difference, which in the event of a victory for Fluminense against Unión, on Thursday in Argentina, could be a tiebreaker on the last date.

With everything and the unnecessary anguish at the end of the match, Junior, in general terms, won and liked it. We’ll see if he missed scoring.

Minute by minute.

First time

4. Borja receives in the area, settles down, falls down, gets up, falls down again. It seemed that the referee signaled a penalty, but in the end neither a foul nor a shot on goal.

16. Rosero escapes feinting and eluding several rivals and puts it on Esparragoza, who takes out a missile that explodes horizontally after hitting a defender. The rebound is left to Borja, but his header went way up.

21. Penalty in favor of Junior. Albornoz is knocked down in the area and the central judge does not hesitate to sanction him.

23. Junior’s goal. Miguel Borja executes from the twelve powerful steps and to the center. Goalkeeper Wilson Quiñónez dives to the side.

27. Junior’s goal. Borja culminates what he himself started with a change of front. Albornoz received, enabled Yesus Cabrera from the right, who left and sent a center that Fuentes deflected in the area with a taquito so that it was left for Borja, who took an accurate cross shot.

38. Albornoz homered an excellent pass that Yesus Cabrera gave him after a touch from the red and white team.
