Great game with a happy ending. And suddenly flavored with victory. Time was dying out, anguish multiplied, frustration manifested.
The Colombia team was on the brink of defeat, desperate and powerless in the face of permanent interruptions from the Argentina players in the last 10 minutes of the game, with the consent of referee Roberto Tobar, until Juan Guillermo Cuadrado raised his head and instantly hit the ball.
The shipment surpassed Yerry Mina, but not Miguel Borja. Junior’s attacker got up with everything and arrived on time to the ball with an accurate header that exploded in the hands of Agustín Marchesín and detonated an explosion of joy in a Roberto Meléndez Metropolitan stadium that once again had an audience in its stands after one year, three months and four days for the covid-19 pandemic.
And the 10,000 fans who gathered at the colossus of The Citadel (Only 25% capacity was allowed). Colombia ended up rescuing a point in a vibrant commitment that after seven minutes of play was already losing 2-0.
The Genesis of the party was the Apocalypse for Colombia. Hesitate here, blunders there. The team came in asleep, did not see media and Argentina hit hard. First with a header from Cristian Romero, after a perfect setback by Rodrigo De Paul, and then with the opportunism of Walls, who took advantage of a series of blunders after a corner kick charge.
A 2-0 before 10 minutes. Two slaps to shake a team in the arms of Morpheus.
The confusion was such that Cuadrado and Dávinson Sánchez argued and held hands while the gauchos celebrated.
Argentina, with a midfield full of talent, Paredes, De Paul, Lo Celso and a certain Messi, they put the ball like a corozo to ours. Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Despite the fact that Reinaldo Rueda sacrificed Muriel and lined up three front-line midfielders, Cuéllar, Lerma and Uribe, ‘the yellow‘I couldn’t find the ball.
