Athletico Paranaense won 2-1 at home this Thursday Belgrano from Córdoba, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the South American Cupplayed at the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba.
The score was decided in three practically identical plays: three crosses from the left wing and three headers that ended in goals.
Belgrano took the lead after 26 seconds, with a goal from Franco Jara, although Erick, before the break, and Christian, in the 63rd minute, turned the score around for Furaçao.
With the victory, Paranaense will need only a draw next week in Córdoba to advance to the quarterfinals, against a Belgrano that must win to stay alive.
If the Pirates win by one goal, the team that makes it to the quarter-finals will be decided on penalties, and if they win by two goals or more, the Cordobans will advance to the next phase.
The winner of the tie will face the winner of Racing and Huachipato, with the “Academia” having a 2-0 advantage and will close the tie next week in Avellaneda.
