The actions started somewhat crooked for the team led by the coach Arturo Reyes, who had a chance to go ahead on the scoreboard, but the stick told them no. The 'sharks' received a bucket of cold water in the 22nd minute after the goal Aldo Cardozo that made the Peruvians win in Colombia.
Junior tried to reach the tie, but his rivals seemed to be more dangerous, until the striker's genius arrived Carlos Bacca, who in the 44th minute unmarked himself and dove into the void to receive a filtered pass, avoiding the offside, the striker dribbled past the rival goalkeeper and assisted Deiber Caicedo that he just had to push her.
There was some suspense in the goal, after the ball hit the post and went in. The central referee took his ear to listen to the VAR for a possible offside by Bacca, but the review was closed and the goal was valid for the partial 1-1.
