Internacional had a difficult mission against Colo-Colo to win their spot in the quarterfinals of the Sudamericana, and managed to reverse the result
O International received the lap in Beira-Rio on the night of this Tuesday, 5th, for the return game of the round of 16 of the Sudamericana. The mission of the Colorada team was considered difficult, as the opponent won 2-0 in the first leg, in Santiago. Thus, the team needed to win by at least three goals difference, and managed with the final score being 4 to 1.
If they managed to win by two goals difference, the spot in the quarterfinals of the Sudamericana would be defined in penalties. It is also worth remembering that there is no longer an away goal as a tiebreaker in Conmebol competitions. Thus, the Chileans could even lose by a goal that stayed in the next stage of the competition.

The Colorado goal was even analyzed by VAR, which traced the lines to investigate a possible offside by Pedro Henrique, but nothing happened.
Already with 42, David played for Edenilson, who hit the defense. In the spare, shirt 17 tried to pass to Maurício, but it came out too strong, straight out. Still, Costa tried to get rid of the marking, but ended up being fouled, and could even bring danger to the Colorado goal. However, he took the free kick with great force, straight out.
End of the game!
