A result that Paraguay regrets, especially due to the fact that in the previous stage they managed to beat Atlético Nacional. Thus, ABC commented in its column that the French team “They lost at home to Defensores del Chaco 2-0 against Chilean Palestino. The academy played a bad match and ended up losing by two goals which they will have to neutralize next week in Rancagua. “.

“Nacional tried to narrow the difference, but luck was already doomed in those five minutes of confusion and total disconnection that forced a big return to someone else’s house,” the media concluded.
Versus, for his part, highlighted that “the teams had a difficult first half, with good intentions and a good pace of play, but too much fighting in the center of the field and without clear ideas to put danger in the opposing goal.
They added that “The procedure changed radically in the complementary game, because the “Arab” captain Bryan Carrasco took advantage of the lethargy of the French defense to seal the 0-1 (46th). And it didn’t take long for things to get worse. Nacional was still resisting the blow when, in a lively attack, Palestino widened its lead thanks to Gonzalo Sosa (50th). 0-2 and total disappointment “.
