The changes that Jhon Jairo Bodmer made at halftime were crucial to changing the face of Nacional: the Venezuelan entered Eric Ramirez and the Uruguayan Agustín Álvarez Wallace.

Beyond not liking it, Nacional had the personality to come back. Álvaro Angulo, at 61', equalized with a shot from his right foot, which although was deflected by an Alianza defender, was intended for the goal.
