Millonarios went to Chile for heroism and returned broken, defeated, with his face down, with his momentum devoured by a Palestino that defeated him 3-1 on matchday 3 of group E in the Copa Libertadores.
Millonarios suffered a shame in the Cup and with this defeat they were very compromised, with just one point and last in their group. Fatal.
The shame was even greater because of the way they received the goals, goals that a team that calls itself Millonarios cannot receive, with incredible inattention.
This Millonarios was a bad copy of the team that reacted in the League and is about to qualify for the home runs. Nothing to see. This was a fragile Millonarios, without defensive security and without definition. Because in the midst of everything, he had options to try to change history. But his attempts failed.

Millonarios managed to tie and that was a second life. The goal came after a spectacular throw-in by Hernández, a goal pass, a cross into the area with his hands, and Castro, the usual one, stood up without a mark, held himself in the air, and hit a lethal header, it was the 1-1 and a blue fan celebrated that in Chile made them feel like they were local.
But when it was thought that this was a reaction, that the team would gain confidence and effectiveness, it stalled. To make matters worse, he lost Cataño, injured. Mackalister Silva, who was a permanent fixture, could not play due to discomfort. Daniel Ruiz had to guide, or try to guide, the team.

And before finishing the first part, the catastrophe arrived. Another goal from Palestino, so similar to the first. Once again the defense contemplating the world. Chamorro appeared again in the area to finish in what seemed to be another advanced position, and neither. He enabled… Sander.
In the second half Millonarios had some reaction, it arrived, Rivaldo scared him without being able to define. And Palestino, with complete tranquility, took advantage of a gift and attacked the blue team. Daniel Ruiz went to make a front change and came up short. Brayan Vejar faced and finished and made it 3-1.
Millonarios fought, but with fighting he was not going to correct his failures. That third goal demoralized the team, which is at the bottom of the group with just one point. They have three games left, two at home. The panorama became tangled.
