Amaral and Prost overtook The Strongest in front of Plaza Colonia | VIDEO

The Strongest, who play as a local, began the match against Plaza Colonia with great intensity with the aim of leveling the series for the return leg of the second phase of the Copa Libertadores. The Bolivian side lost 2-0 in the first leg, but got the job done in the opening minutes of the match.

At 2′, Ursina launched a cross into the area and Triverio passed the ball to Rodrigo Amaral. The latter easily faked the rival players on the edge of the crescent twice. From that distance, he finished off strongly and the ball went into the goalkeeper Guirin’s net.

The Uruguayan cast was surprised by the first of the game and the locals took advantage of the fact that they were left without reaction to score the second. At 6 ‘, the author of the first goal took a filtered pass to the Plaza Colonia area and Vaca dropped the ball to Martín Prost who converted the 2-0.

For the moment, the match would be defined on penalties, however, The Strongest has as its main ally up to the task and there is still a lot of time left. For its part, the cast of Uruguay must rethink to get at least the discount.

The Strongest vs. Plaza Colonia: preview

The actions will take place at the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz and the referee Jhon Alexander Ospina will be in charge of imparting justice. In the first leg, the Uruguayan side won 2-0, with a brace from Juan Mascia, and the difference will force the Bolivian team to win by a landslide to advance.

The Strongest started the season at a good level in the Bolivian League, although this time they had trouble imitating the pace internationally. Of the four clashes that the institution played throughout 2022, it only obtained one defeat and it was in the Libertadores. Without a doubt, DT Cristian Díaz will have to correct mistakes.

For its part, Plaza Colonia has gone from less to more this 2022. The institution lost the Uruguayan Super Cup against Peñarol (in extra time) and then there were no wins in two days of the ‘Charrúa’ league. However, the squad picked up the pace and found motivation with the 5-0 win over Cerro Largo.

Coach Eduardo Espinel is bringing out the best version of his coaches and will not trust the result of the first leg against The Strongest, considering that this time he will be up to the task as an enemy. However, he won’t try to defend all the time either, since that would make it difficult to define the hold.
