Juan Escobar took good advantage of the bands to cause danger to the rival. It was he who put in the pass for Angulo’s dripping shot, which, in the end, became Antuna’s goal.
The Paraguayan defender was attentive to each of the plays. He fought the balls, swept away, removed the danger from his zone and in moments he dared to go forward with the controlled ball.
The ‘Cata’ made it clear that he is a tough nut to crack and that his experience speaks for itself. He did not eat any feint from the rival forwards who tried to feint him, in addition to removing the danger at every opportunity.

At minute 29′, he stole a ball from Rodríguez and there began the triangulation together with ‘Charly’, Escobar and Angulo, to finally take advantage of a rebound and just push the ball to open the scoring.
He made a mistake on the passes. In the unhooked of Cruz Azul he served very long services, causing opportunities to be lost. He showed little in the game, where the most outstanding thing he did was coverage in the lower part of the field. He came out of exchange for Luis Abram.
