Without many situations in the first stage, the match reached its climax in the complementary stage. Guaraní insisted with a couple of important approaches that were annulled by the tricolor goalkeeper Santiago Rojas.
In the 81st minute, the VAR also took center stage at Rogelio Livieres when referee Mario Díaz de Vivar was called for a review, which led to the sanction of a foul by Rodi Ferreira and a penalty in favor of Nacional.
Facundo Bruera, scorer for the Academy, converted in the first instance but the execution was annulled due to area invasion, so the shot had to be repeated. In his second execution, the Argentine again hit Devis Vásquez’s goal and put his team ahead in the 85th minute.
