The match, which was played at the “José Amalfitani” stadium, opened with a goal from Joel Sonora for the “Fortín”, 15 minutes into the first half.
However, at 31 of that half, and at 30 of the complement, Emmanuel Gigliotti turned the result for the set “bag”.
From 18 minutes into the first half Velez played with one less man due to the expulsion of the Paraguayan midfielder Joseph Florentinfor a foul on the goalkeeper Serge Rochet.
Things looked like they were going to go his way. Velez, because he searched and tried on more than one occasion, and at 15 Soñora captured a rebound inside the area and sentenced Rochet.
However, shortly after the Paraguayan Florentine he couldn’t stop himself and took the goalkeeper with him, causing a head injury and earning a red card.
Nacional had not been able to have clear arrivals against the goal defended by holes, but in a deep pass for Gigliotti, the experienced striker equalized the actions.
The second half was the other way around, because National stepped forward on the ground and was Velez the one who tried to manage his energies and score a counterattack, something that could have resulted in a goal with a left-footed shot from Pratto that hit the post.
But with Gigliotti on the field of play, Nacional had an ace up his sleeve, and after a cross from the left, the former Boca and Independiente man sealed the story with a precise header.
