There was no blue feat. Millonarios could not overcome the series against Fluminense. He was unable to find the featmuch less a miracle. He lost again, as happened in Bogotá, and now 2-0 in Brazil. Thus ended his brief stint in the Copa Libertadores 2022, where he could not pass phase 2.
Millionaires appealed to no despair, no anguish, no fear. He started playing what he knows, without kidding himself, playing and playing to see if he would drive the hosts to despair, to see if he could create a space that way. It was a risk, and he knew it, because to lose the ball was to submit to the local attack.
And so it seemed to be. In just 5 minutes of play, Willian accelerated and wanted to surprise with a shot full of effect, with a curve from the outside in, a Brazilian shot. He had all the time to position himself, look and decide what to do, and that was when Álvaro Montero flew out and put out his long arm and prevented the fall of his bow. It was a warning.
no miracle
And it had immediate effect. Because the Brazilians started their dance. not complete, half They grabbed the ball to impose their conditions for a few moments, to show Millonarios that they were the locals, the Brazilian locals, the Brazilian locals and with an advantage in the series. The locals who had no desire.
But there was Millionaires, ready to fight. and he gave it. What happens is that he lacks a goal, a small problem, almost nothing. Herazo, the striker who came to the club to be a goalscorer, failed again, as he has already done, wasting Mackalister’s masterful heel, Bertel’s brilliant cross, and the passivity of the Brazilian defense. Herazo headed up, as if the goals did not need them so urgently.
Stiven Vega wanted to vindicate his partner. received an unbeatable pass from Celis, who invented a Brazilian-style play, with a tunnel in between, reached the final line, running diagonally to the goal and surprised with the back pass, one of those passes that only wait for someone to enter and connect a bombshell It was Vega, but the shot was deflected.
Fluminense liquidated
Millionaires showed that it could, that it would not be impossible to penetrate that area, that it would not be inferior or bowed down. Herazo wanted to get even with him and won from above to put in a new header, corrected, better placed, down, to the corner, but goalkeeper Fabio arrived there.
Millonarios had a worthy first half, he created his opportunities, he was not inferior. But he did not need good intentions but the certainty of goals.
In the second part, Millonarios dedicated himself to weaving, patiently, seeking to open up the court, with Celis and Silva leading the way, except for Ruiz, who almost did not appear.
Fluminense played at a medium pace, as if he preferred to wait for Millonarios to make a mistake. And in one of those, Montero scratched the ball to once again save his goal. That’s how the game was, every time the Brazilians got excited, they generated a lot of danger.
And he needed another start to finish the series. An attack from the right, ball in the area, a first rejection by Román, Montero on the floor, the defense played, and the ball was left to Willian, who did not fail, who sent it inside in 60 minutes, for the 1- 0 and the end of the key.
Millionaires could not react. Although Gamero moved his chips. That goal was lapidary, but it was not the only one.
At minute 72 the Colombian Arias was in charge of destroying any blue illusion. He received a filtered pass and calmly defined Montero’s exit. 2-0.
That was it. Thus ended the sad and brief history of Millonarios in this Copa Libertadores.
