The match took place at the emblematic Centenario stadium in Montevideo. The ‘quemero’ team, led by coach Diego Dabove, had the support of a large number of fans who crossed the Río de la Plata.
The retaliation will be held on Wednesday, March 1, from 7:00 p.m., at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó in Parque de los Patricios.
During the first part, the “Globo” tried to prevail in foreign territory, with the arguments exhibited since the arrival of Dabove: fluidity on the wings, combativeness in the central zone and an offensive tandem that sought to disturb with permanent mobility.
But the funnel of five men in the background that the Montevidean cast proposed was weaving the skein and involving a Hurricane that lost precision in the transfer and focused the game in the middle.
Even so, the Parque de los Patricios team had opportunities to open the account that were not very clear, it is true, but that unequivocally marked their willingness to fight for victory.
At 18m, a weak shot by Cóccaro that Santiago Silva caught; at 34m., a deflected shot from Gudiño near the right post and at 43m., a strong shot from Acevedo that the local goalkeeper rejected delivered a sample of that best visitor action.
The Uruguayan team, on the other hand, barely brought any danger, through some full-backs into the area or with a shot from their franchise player, Jonathan Urretaviscaya (former Benfica from Portugal), who was controlled by the goalkeeper Lucas Chaves (39m .).
In the second period, the development became more blocked and even. Boston River enabled striker Olivera more often, who with his power began to complicate the visiting fund, although without generating too much anxiety.
Beyond a good income from Cordero to Huracán, Silva’s goal seemed to be further away in that second half. Perhaps, a certain conformism for a not inconsiderable result ended up affecting the heads of the ‘Globo’ footballers who did not force the machine.
Even so, around the closing quarter hour, Dabove’s team had very clear chances to decree the unevenness. A tight shot from Fattori (36m.), another from Cordero that passed close (39m.) and a third from Juan Manuel García (43m.) just high gave the visitor the feeling that smiles could have been from ear to ear.
However, the last and very clear one corresponded to Boston River, with a shot by Emiliano Sosa from outside the area that led to an excellent save by Chaves, already in stoppage time (48m.).
