Atlético Nacional achieved a large and even surprising victory against Águilas Doradas in Rionegro, a 0-3 that calmed the waters after two difficult games and allows coach Jhon Bodmer to breathe easy, for now.
The match started positively for the purslane team, which took the lead on the scoreboard after 3 minutes. This goal was thanks to the winger, Édier Ocampo, who received a pass from Agustín Cano and finished from mid-range, thus leaving Águilas goalkeeper, José Contreras, without a chance.
But Nacional wanted more. and that was why At 14 minutes the midfielder, Robert Mejía, increased the score. A pass from Édier Ocampo helped the 23-year-old midfielder be alone and leave his goal in the records.
However, not everything was going to be perfect for Atlético Nacional, after they were left with one less man a few minutes after the end of the first half. The person affected was defender Joan Castro, who received a double warning after slapping Águilas forward Wilfrido De la Rosa.
The lack of a man for Atlético Nacional would not be an excuse to score another goal in the game. On this occasion, Felipe Aguirre scored the third for the Purslanes at 69 minutes into the match. The central defender's score came after a free kick, where the player headed alone in front of the goal.
Finally, the Medellín team took the three points and is third in the standings with 7 points. While the Rionegro team remains fifth with the same number of points as the purslane team.
“There was judgment with the ball, risk was generated, we had good pressure. It usually happens that a team with one less player duplicates efforts. “I value that even with that man less, we did not suffer the game,” Bodmer said at the end of the game.
Now the green paisa will visit the city of Tunja on the next date to face Patriotas. While Águilas Doradas will play in Montería against Jaguares de Córdoba.
