Magallanes scored his first Copa Libertadores goal . The Caravel team sealed their way to Stage 3 of the competition after beating Always Ready by an aggregate score of 6-1 following yesterday’s 3-1 victory at the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz.
The performance of the Bolivian team was more than disappointing and this was reflected in the press of this country. Thus, El Diario commented that “Always Ready bid a premature farewell to the Copa Libertadores de América last night, with just two games played, after being humiliated by Magallanes (Chile) with a 1-3 loss on Thursday night thus leaving the overall score at 1-6″.
For her part, the most in-depth analysis of the meeting was made by Página Siete, who titled her column by stating that “Always Ready said goodbye to the Copa Libertadores de América with a role, he was no match for Chile’s Magallanes who beat him back and forth ”.
“The foreign legion of the red band could not with the well-structured game of the trans-Andean, which in both games he showed game superiority and identity “, they added below.
Then they spoke about the shortcomings of the team led by Pablo Godoy. “The Millionaire doesn’t know what he’s playing. In the first leg he relied on the speed of Edarlyn Reyes and Dorny Romero, but last night none appeared, what was proclaimed in the week did not come true: to drown the rival ”.
They also took the time to point out Magellan’s proposal. “The Chileans did not come to hide. From the moment the ball was put in play they showed what they were playing, with first class touches they reached the opposite goal without a problem”.
“The Chilean team handled the ball, realizing it could do damage with set pieces and disrupting with mid-range shots that complicated a nervous goalkeeper Carlos Mosquera “, they completed.
They also said that Always Ready’s downfall could have been worse in the rematch. “The visit could score one more goal, He played better than in the first leg when he was local, but sometimes there was an overconfidence in his players which wasted chances ”.
Now Magallanes must prepare to fight for the place in the Copa Libertadores group stage. For that, they will have to face Independiente de Medellín, who beat El Nacional de Ecuador.
Of course, the international participation of the Albicelestes is assured, since the team that loses in this key will access the Copa Sudamericana.
