Goleada and passport to the next round. The Strongest qualified for the third phase of the Copa Libertadores after beating Plaza Colonia of Uruguay 3-0, on Tuesday night. The match was played at the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz, with Colombian referee Jhon Alexander Ospina.
From the outset, the panorama was in favor of the Tiger, because in the first minute of the game nothing else Rodrigo Amaral opened the scoring with a left footed shot from inside the crescent.
The Uruguayan midfielder took out two rivals and when two others were going to mark him, he took a powerful left foot that stuck in the left sector of the goal defended by goalkeeper Nicolás Guirin.
The visiting team was stunned and that was taken advantage of very well by the Bolivian team that quickly scored the second through Martín Prost, at 6 minutes. The Argentine found himself with a ball that Henry Vaca lowered with his chest and defined with his left foot to equalize on aggregate, since in the first leg played last week in Montevideo, Plaza Colonia had won 2-0.
The brindle continued to play attack and the third was about to arrive after a shot from outside the area by Henry Vaca. The ball was destined for the net, but the visiting goalkeeper avoided the fall of his goal and sent the ball to the corner kick. It was minute 16.
The charrúas had a great opportunity to discount in the 26th minute, when Nicolás Dibble crashed the ball into the left post, almost at the angle, of Guillermo Viscarra’s goal. The Tiger was saved.
It was the only chance of a goal that the Uruguayan team had, because The Strongest was the owner of the first time and generated more situations that he did not know how to specify, especially Prost.
In the second half, at 49′ of the game, Tigre’s third arrived, but it was annulled due to an advanced position by Enrique Triverio, who picked up a rebound from the right post of the Plaza Colonia goal, after a left-footed shot by Vaca, who played a great game.
In minute 58 came the long-awaited goal for The Strongest. Vaca made a deep pass that weakly seemed to die in the hands of the visiting goalkeeper, but nobody expected Nicolás Guirin to make a blunder by granting a rebound, which Prost took advantage of very well to make it 3-0 with a completely unguarded goal. .
That goal from the Argentine striker put the Bolivian representative in the third round of the most important club championship organized by the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol), while Plaza Colonia was out of the race in its first participation in the Copa Libertadores.
The Strongest will face each other in the next phase of the competition to the winner of the key between Bolívar and Universidad Católica de Ecuador, who will play the rematch this Wednesday (18:15), in Quito. In the first leg, played last week in La Paz, they tied at one goal apiece.
