The Chileans did not blame the Bolivian altitude and beat Always Ready 1-3
Vásquez, Alfaro and Flores put the visitors 0-3 and Reyes prevented the series from going 6-0 for Chile at discount
He Magellan Chilean got his pass to the third phase of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday with a forceful 1-3 at home against the Bolivian always ready, at an altitude of 3,650 meters at the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz. The goals scored by Matías Vásquez in minute 9, Julián Alfaro in minute 51 and Felipe Flores in minute 53 were added to the other three from the first leg in the Chilean city of Rancagua, for an overall score of 1-6 for the chilean club The Dominican Edarlyn Reyes discounted for the Bolivians in the 91st minute.
The Bolivian “millionaire” led by the Paraguayan coach Pablo Godoy, raised the match with an offensive trident with the Dominican Dorny Romero, the Ivorian Wilfried Bony and the Argentine Marcos Riquelme, faced with the need to achieve a comeback. In response, the Chilean team faced this foreseeable pressure with its orderly lines and surprised at the start of the match with the header from vasquez, after a cross from Aranguis, to get the first goal. After that blow, Always Ready tried with more impetus than football to reach the elusive equality. In the 41st minute, the Venezuelan judge Alexis Herrera expelled the Cameroonian-Bolivian Marc Enoumba for a strong foul on a rival, something that weakened the local forces.
Once the second half started, it took the Chilean team six minutes to extend the account, with a good counterattack from Alfaro to the left, and a few seconds later Flowers spread the difference. The reaction of the local fans to the supremacy of the Chilean team was to shout “olé” for several moments at each pass made by the team led by Nicolás Núñez. Faced with this adversity, Always Ready’s reaction was to avoid conceding more goals and achieved discount thanks to Reyes on the last play of the duel.
Now, Magallanes will have to think about the Colombian Independiente Medellín, his rival in the third phase of the tournament that will grant the pass to the group stage.
