Thus, at the end of the sixth and last date of group G, the Brazilian team qualified by adding 18 units; the ‘Red’ finished second (12); while General Caballero (4), from Paraguay, was third; and La Guaira (1), from Venezuela, closed fourth.
Rodrigo Lindoso, at the end of the first half, and John Mendoza, when the game was over, they scored for the Fortaleza team.
At the beginning of the actions, the Avellaneda team was sharp as they tried to add the victory by no less than two goals difference to get the round pass.
Although after the first 10 minutes, the Brazilian balanced the development, especially due to some advantages that the host offered. Thus, in the final section the most emotional moments of the first chapter were presented.
Precisely, the first arose from an error by Alex Vigo in the middle of the field, with which he facilitated the opponent’s counterattack led by John Mendoza, who gave in to Vinicius, who attacked from the left and whose shot was deflected by Sebastián Sosa, who immediately With his feet he went out to intercept the charge of Víctor Luis to avoid the fall of the local fence, about 41 minutes.
A couple of minutes later the one that was saved was the visiting goal before a good collective offensive action by the ‘red’, which culminated with a center for Juan Manuel Insaurralde’s header, which Joao Ricardo deflected much in demand and before Damián Batallini’s attack , Nino Paraiba appeared to clear.
Near the end, the technical director of Ceará Dorival Silvestre Júnior -the one who knew how to affirm Neymar in the first Santos match, at the beginning of the star- was expelled for angrily protesting a ruling by the Uruguayan referee Christian Ferreyra, after which and In added time his team found the opening with Lindoso’s opportunism when he captured the ball after a rebound in the local area and with a low and crossed shot he overcame Sosa’s resistance (45 + 5m).
To look for the recovery of his team, at halftime, Eduardo Domínguez made two changes of players and tactical scheme, to leave the 4-3-3 for 4-4-2, with Tomás Pozzo replacing Damián Battallini and by Leandro Fernández for Andrés Ros, who was unable to celebrate with a good performance on his 29th birthday.
Later he added more offensive changes with the entry of Gastón Togni for Lucas Rodríguez and Rodrigo Márquez for Alex Vigo, with the desperate mission at that point of winning by three goals to beat Ceará in the standings, with which he achieved greater prominence and more charges towards the rival goal, but without getting the attack to become ‘spicy’, deep and well nourished by those who had to generate the game.
To all this, the Brazilian team was able to maintain the advantage and sought to counterattack the possibility of increasing it as at the end of the game with a splendid definition of his figure, Mendoza, in the first minute of added time, with which he reached the well-deserved classification for being the best team in the area.
On the other hand, Independiente, in addition to once again adding the angry reaction of his bias, which expressed his disagreement with insulting chants towards the board, left him with a sea of doubts to face the next LPF championship.
