The “Sabalero”, who started better than his rival, suffered a setback after 7 minutes due to a goal from Hugo Quintanabut after going in search of a tie throughout the initial stage, he got it at 41 from a goal of Federico Lértora.
Already in the complement of an even two-way duel, the midfielder appeared again, this time with a header in the 39th minute, to turn the match around and allow the team led by Julius Caesar Falcioni get among the 16 best teams in the Libertadores.
With this result, the “Sabalero” climbed to the top of its group with 10 points, in the absence of a date to finish the first phase of the competition, followed by Cerro Porteño from Paraguay, which has 8, Olimpia with 5 and Peñarol from Uruguay with 4.
For this reason, on the sixth day of the zone, it will be necessary to decide who will get the other ticket to the next phase: Colón will visit Peñarol with the sole objective of ensuring leadership, while the two Paraguayan casts will face everything or nothing at the Cerro Porteño stadium.
