Defense and Justice had a failed Tuesday night in Florencio Varela against the Brazilian Goianiense, who beat him 1-0 with a goal from Wellington Rato at the start of this match that was vital for his future in Group F of the Cup South American, since despite the fact that only two days have passed, the fact of losing as a local when only the first one passes the round, can be decisive.
The “Falcon” started the match “with the wrong foot” and he never managed to straighten his course, a little by chance, another by virtues of his adversary and also because the fatigue of the double competition has already begun to take its toll, especially on vital men of his attack such as Walter Bou and the Uruguayan Miguel Merentiel, that were replaced simultaneously before the complement half hour.
And that “bad start” of those led by Sebastián Beccacece occurred before a dozen minutes of the game were played, since at nine the Brazilian team surprised with a sharp arrival and the goal converted under the goal by Wellington Rato.
And just two minutes later, Colombian midfielder Raúl Loaiza was injured, which caused him to lose balance in the middle of the field, since his replacement, Gabriel Hachen, has more offensive characteristics and therefore Kevin Gutiérrez was left with the greatest responsibility in the recovery against a Brazilian rapid transit team in that middle zone.
Those were the best moments of the Brazilians, which lasted until the middle of the first stage, when little by little Defense and Justice began to show their usual dapper game, although this time with brushstrokes, which allowed the visit to become strong behind And don’t get too scared.
And this became more acute in the complement, when fatigue was gaining the legs and consequently the ideas of the creatives of the Varelense team.
Then Defense went from playing to fighting a game that inevitably escaped him, but the fight, football by the way, is not what suits those led by Beccacece, who were languishing as they turned clockwise, until a shot A free kick that passed by kissing the crossbar after a shot by Adonis Frías in stoppage time took away his last hope of equalizing.
In this way, Goianiense now leads the group with six points, since on the opening day it thrashed Liga de Quito 4-0 at home, which this Tuesday night beat the Chilean Antofagasta by the same score in Ecuador (goals by Angulo, Against Cornejo, Molina and Arce), who had just fallen against Defense and Justice, as a local, by 3 to 1,
