Independiente Medellín had a bad debut in the Copa Sudamericana when it fell during its visit to the Municipal El Alto stadium located at 4,090 meters above sea level. El Poderoso fell to Always Ready 2-0.
In the first half, Medellín handled the ball, but did not know how to use it while Always Ready dedicated itself to counterattacking or waiting for mistakes from the rival.
Towards the end of the first 45 minutes, the Bolivians found the imbalance with Wesley Da Silva who received a cross from the right from Adalid Terrazas and there the Brazilian attacker scored with a header.
In the second half, Always Ready found the second goal in a play where Marcelo Suárez managed to touch a center from the left and then the ball hit Pablo Lima and went inside.
Ayron del Valle wanted to go for the third in a play where the Colombian tried from medium distance, but the ball barely went wide of the DIM goal.
In the 68th minute, Medellín had one of its few approaches with Diego Moreno who, after a corner kick, attempted the first volley, but the ball went well over the Bolivians' goal.
Fifteen minutes from the end, Del Valle again wanted to go for his goal and attempted a mid-range shot that this time went over Chaux's goal. At 84', the Colombian, who was the most incisive in this part, had a goal disallowed for offside.
With this result, DIM is fourth in group A and on the next date they will face César Vallejo at the Atanasio Girardot stadium.
