The rain in Bogotá wreaked havoc again for a sporting event in Bogotá, this time for the Copa Sudamericana game between Millonarios and Peñarol from Uruguay, which took place on Tuesday night -May 23-. Although much of the game had already been played, Around minute 57, the judge decided to stop the game at El Campín due to the incessant rain that fell on the field.
Ten minutes after most of the players, coaching staffs and others had hidden, part of the shortlist of referees went onto the field to see the conditions of the field and find out if it was possible to continue the game. Unfortunately, the rain remained extremely heavy on the field making it quite difficult for everything to resume, however, for a final determination it was necessary to wait for the aforementioned weather.
At about 10:52 PM as last minute information, it was learned that the organization was extending the waiting time by another 15 minutes. Although it seemed complex that it could be played, everything seemed to indicate that the work to remove the water generated confidence and also, they did not want to prolong the dispute of a game that had less than half the time left until the next day.
Finally, the work of those who were in charge of removing the water from the field, combined with the fact that the rain decreased in intensity to such an extent that not one more drop fell, along with that, the fans who had hidden inside the stands returned to the stands to wait for the restart time. The initial determination for the game to take place ruled at 11:30 PM, however, it was only after 12 midnight that the remaining 33 minutes were played.
Millionaires thrashed Peñarol
Even when the water allowed the happy development of the game, everything was an absolute party for Millonarios who defeated Peñarol from Uruguay with authority 3-1 and thus, partially added 10 points in group G of the Copa Sudamericana. The annotations made by Jorge Arias, an own goal from former Deportivo Cali, Hernán Menosse, plus a goal from the youth squad Luis Paredes marked an overwhelming initial part of the ‘ambassador’.
Already in the second half with the water also diminishing the players, the Uruguayan team was able to cut the vast difference with a goal for honor that at that point did not mean much. If the blue victory were configured like this, Alberto Gamero’s team would be managing to climb to the top of the table with two dates to play, while the Uruguayans would sign to be one of the first eliminated in the group stage by not adding a single point out of 12 possible.
