In the preview of the match, the Brazilians talked about the difference in checkbook between Millonarios and Flamengo, however, in El Campín that difference was not seen. The Colombian team fought on an equal footing with those led by Tite, who looked restless throughout the game. The ambassadors had several scoring options and in the first half they were able to take advantage by several goals. The first 45 minutes were masterful. Defensive order and a lot of creativity.
In the complementary part they suffered and especially when Millonarios had to fight and put more heart than they had already put in when they were left with 10 men. The high points were: Alex Moreno Paz, Juan Pablo Vargas, Daniel Cataño and Leonardo Castro who returned with a lot of energy. A 1-1 draw that could have been a victory. Rossi could not continue adding minutes to his record.
Millionaires have a masterful first half
Millonarios, with the motivation of the fans and perhaps the Copa Libertadores debut, came out putting pressure on Flamengo. In the first minute he warned with a mid-range shot from Leonardo Castro. In the 5th minute came the reaction of the Brazilians with Matías Viña who arrived alone in the area, but defined very poorly.
The game went back and forth and in the 6th minute, a clear option came from Daniel Cataño who entered the area alone after a good play by Mackalister Silva who assisted Giordana, the forward put it to ’10’ but defined very above the arch.
In the 12th minute, Flamengo accelerated and had the first after an individual play by Giorgian Arrascaeta that left Bruno Henrique alone, the winger finished cross and Álvaro Montero responded with a brilliant save. I breathe in El Campín. Millonarios had to react and did so with Leonardo Castro in the 23rd minute. Mackalister Silva crossed and the forward’s header passed close to Rossi’s goal.
The ambassadors continued to insist and in a counterattack after pressure from Flamengo, they were able to open the scoring with Daniel Cataño, however, the midfielder defined very poorly against the Argentine goalkeeper who continued adding minutes to his undefeated record. Then, Millonarios had another clear one with the ’10’. Cross by Jhoan Hernández and header deflected. Hands on Gamero’s head for the unspecified options.
Millonarios continued to dominate and press and in the 37th minute a very clear play came. Perfect cross from Delvin Alfonzo to Leonardo Castro who won in the jump, the ball hit the post and the rebound was grabbed by Larry Vásquez who went over Rossi’s goal. Two minutes later the one who had it was Santiago Giordana who administered a counterattack very well. The Argentine finished off and the Argentine goalkeeper saved again.
Pedro silences El Campín and Ruiz saves the tie
In the complementary part, Flamengo came out putting pressure on Millonarios. The blues had to wake up quickly. The match went back and forth again, both teams insisted on the wingsbut there was very little clarity in the last quarter of the field.
In the 62nd minute, Flamengo’s goal came from the penalty spot. Larry Vásquez committed a foul in the area on Arrascaeta. Argentine judge Darío Herrera did not hesitate and whistled a penalty and he also gave the driver a red card. The person in charge of collecting it was Pedro who put it at the angle to Montero.
Mackalister Silva began to team up with Daniel Cataño to look for the tying goal, the ’10’ lacked that spark at the end to find spaces. Alberto Gamero made two important changes at the end, he sent Daniel Ruiz and Emerson Rodríguez to the playing field who in a few minutes changed the game. In the 80th minute they achieved the tie. Individual play from the winger who entered the area, assisted the middle and was grabbed by Daniel Ruiz who sent it in with his right hand and put an end to Agustín Rossi’s streak that lasted 1,135 minutes without conceding a goal.
With this tie, Millonarios adds its first point in the Copa Libertadores, it has a long week to prepare for its visit to La Paz against Bolívar. Flamengo has the Carioca championship final this weekend, then will host Palestino at the Maracaná
