Velez Sarsfield Y Bragantine They equaled 2-2 this Thursday at the José Amalftitani stadium and were left with opposite realities in Group C of the Copa Libertadores: the Argentine formation with one point in last place and the Brazilian team at the top with four alongside Estudiantes de La Plata .
The Uruguayan Matías De Los Santos and Natan, in their own goal, converted for the local team, while Ytalo scored both for the visitors, who finished with ten players due to the expulsion of Aderlan for a double warning.
The match started off moving with a goal from Ytalo after a low cross that he connected with a furious shot that stopped goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos.
Julio Vaccari’s team quickly assimilated the blow of the goal against and equalized in the eighth minute with an accurate header from the Uruguayan De los Santos, which transformed goalkeeper Cleiton’s stretch into a sterile one.
After this furious start came a time of study where there was more caution than courage to look for the second goal and they went into the break tied.

However, in the 47th minute, a cross over the area by Bragantino generated a double error. The goalkeeper Cleiton went wrong when cutting the ball and the central defender Natan hit the ball that went into the fence itself to put the local team ahead on the scoreboard.
But in the 61st minute, Ytalo appeared again to connect a cross shot with a header and a ball that made a parabola over goalkeeper Hoyos and sentenced the definitive tie on the scoreboard.
Then came the time for the second yellow for Aderian and his consequent expulsion that determined a Vélez who became more offensive but without the certainty in the final meters to stay with the victory.
Little by little Bragantino fell back on his field and bet on a sporadic counterattack to try to modify a tie that ended up dividing a point for each one.
Bragantino, who has four points out of a possible six, will visit Estudiantes on April 26. On the same day Vélez will host Nacional in Montevideo.
