The Chilean Magallanes will climb on Thursday to the 3,600 meters of altitude in La Paz with the tranquility of the 3-0 win achieved in the first leg, to define a quota in the third phase of the Copa Libertadores-2023 against the Bolivian Always Ready.
The game is set for 6:00 p.m. in the Hernando Siles state peace.
The winner of this series will face the winner of the one in which the Ecuadorian El Nacional and the Colombian Independiente Medellín.
– Confident with the win –
Magallanes arrives with full confidence after the win in the first leg, which could have been broader since striker Felipe Flores wasted a penalty in the 60th minute.
Upon his return to the international tournament ‘La Academia’ he surprised with his game, although He also took advantage of the fact that the Bolivians were imprecise.
The technical director of Magallanes, Nicolás Núñez, evaluated the first meeting that “I was satisfied with the performance” and regarding the return, he asserted that “we have a significant margin of improvement.”
The midfielder Tomás Aránquiz spoke in the same tone, saying that the Chileans they prepared for the rematch “in the best way”.
However, look carefully at the hard square of the Hernando Siles stadium, due to the altitude of La Paz. In the domestic tournament Magallanes is in eleventh position among 16 teams. It comes from beating Cobrresal 2-1 for the sixth date.
– Avoid failure –
Always Ready is with the complicated mission of winning by four goals difference to qualify. If they equalize on the aggregate score, then the series will be defined by penalty kicks.
The ‘Millionaires’, for this reason, have carried out executions from the 12 steps because they come to specify itbut they believe that qualifying can be achieved in regulation time.
Defender Marc Enoumba stated that “there is always revenge, we have the obligation to win, we are playing the game of the year, being out of the Cup would be a failure for us”.
The starting goalkeeper Carlos Mosquera affirmed for his part that “undoubtedly this can be turned around, You can find a way to turn the score around”.
From the start, I would line up Wilfried Bony, the great reinforcement of the Bolivian team, known for playing for Manchester City, although in the first leg he could not do much in the international tournament.
In the domestic League, Always Ready is not on the right foot, since it is in ninth position among 17 teams played four dates.
