I agree nacional is playing well. Hope they'll get the equalizer, they should be good enough to advance from this group. Bucaramanga old boys are leading 2-0 away against their biggest rival in the group so I think they'll pull through. Didn't know that about Borre, even less reason to call him up then.
Marino redcarded, that seals this game. I still feel pretty optimistic that they can survive the group even if they'll probably lose tonight.
yeah they'll make it through, definitely a great team. Playing in Brazil is rough, not easy. Despite that, Inter weren't particularly amazing themselves. They won because Nacional don't have a left back that will defend and because Cardona who is supposed to be his cover is 50/50 when it comes to tracking back. Hinestroza getting sent off was the final straw but I think Nacional win in Medellin against this Inter team.
I wonder what the story is between Racing and why they have no home fans, this obviously worked out in Bucaramanga's favor big time
Racing get one back in the 91st minute. Im hoping this won't be a repeat of Colo Colo, need to hang on a couple more minutes
I think there's a big possibility that the away game vs Colo colo also will be played in an empty stadium after the riot that occured last night.
Very interesting. Leonel loves his veterans I suppose. Kudos to him and the team for winning their first match in the Libertadores. Not much to be proud about lately so it is nice to see a story like them. Hope they get better each game.
Bucaramange old boys playing in slo-mo, being down 0-1 at home and having a hard time coping with the speed of Fortaleza, hope they can turn this around.
Don't know what the hell Buca is doing. All the players 20 meters apart from eachother, only long balls. They lost at least 15 mins with people injured or faking injury and the ref only added 6 mins. Fortaleza seems winable but not if they're going to play like this. Watching this team today you don't get how they managed to win in argentina. Hoping for BIG changes in the 2nd half.
They got the 1-1 miraculously. They just remind me of an old Colombian team from the late 90s. Frustrating and basically no idea how to put shots on target. Very fortunate to get the penalty.
all colombian teams from all decades and ages have no idea how to put shots on target, its colombian genetics. If you watch the local teams, every single team puts most of their shots off target
Teams in Libertadores past have done much better at shots than this squad though. (Nacional, Junior, even Pereira) So it is all relative.
Bucaramanga getting thrashed 3-0 at home. Garbage game, all they do is trying to impress the ref all the time.
With Fortaleza having to play group leader Racing Club away in Argentina, the chances for Bucaramanga to finish 2nd look good since they play last place Colo Colo. Otherwise, Bucaramanga would drop down to the Sudamericana.
Colombian teams usually play poorly in Chile though. And Racing may be tempted to just take it easy against Fortaleza.
Yeah, I was surprised to see Colo Colo at the bottom of that group. They are probably the premier squad in Chile.
Tbh Bucaramanga are pretty poor and probably doesn't deserve to advance. I like watching America and nacional, not that impressed by caldas or Bucaramanga old boys. Still hope they beat Colo colo.
yes, chile in general are in a crisis they had probably one of their worst performances ever. They spent a lot by their standards to create their squad, had a shit show of a disaster with fortaleza in chile and then went on to get their ass kicked by everyone else
Bucaramanga finished third in their group so they drop down into the Knockout Playoff round of the Copa Sudamericana. They will play Atletico Mineiro. First match is July 15 in Colombia. Return match is July 22 in Brazil.
