Olimpia went ahead: Guillermo Paiva scored the 1-0 over César Vallejo | VIDEO

From the moment the referee blew his whistle, beyond the favorable result he achieved in the first leg, Olimpia went in search of the first goal. He had several chances to take the lead, but it was not until the 34th minute that he made it 1-0 over César Vallejo, in the second leg of Phase 1 of the Copa Libertadores..

Alejandro Silva appeared from the right sector and sent a cross into the area, looking for a teammate. However, Arquímedes Figuera intercepted the ball and rejected it badly, in the middle. Nearby was Guillermo Paiva, who with a right hand overcame the resistance of goalkeeper Carlos Grados.

Cesar Vallejo vs. Olympia: match preview

Olimpia, directed by Julio Cáceres, former champion of the Copa Libertadores with the Asunceño team, won a visit to César Vallejo, with a goal from striker Jorge Recalde.

The result could have been superior, but the ‘Dean’ gave life to the ‘Poets’ by unbelievably missing several scoring opportunities. Likewise, a tie on Wednesday helps them qualify.

The team from the city of Trujillo, led by José ‘Chemo’ del Solar, has no choice but to win. If he does so by one goal difference, the series will be decided on penalties, and if he wins by more than one goal, he will advance directly to Phase 2.
