Deportivo Independiente Medellín made a false step during their first match in the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana. The mighty mountain team tied three goals with the modest Guaireña, a team that is tenth in the First Division of Paraguay and has very few football weapons.
Although the Paisa team put the game in a draw in the final minutes, the functioning of the squad led by Comesaña left serious doubts. The lack of category was evident and the punctual errors took their toll on the mighty mountain. Now he must think about next Thursday’s game, against 9 De Octubre, an Ecuadorian club.
The tie ‘in extremis’ of Medellin
The Antioquia team started losing at minute six, after a start full of lack of concentration. In the 33rd minute, the usual Argentine striker Luciano Pons thrilled the fans with a good goal. Then, the combative Adrián Arregui scored the second in the 38th minute and Medellín seemed to dominate the game. However, in the second half of the match came the worst moment for those led by Julio Avelino Comesaña.
