Lima, March 2, 2022Updated on 03/02/2022 07:03 am

National Athletic faces Olympia in a match corresponding to Phase 2 of the Libertadores Cup. The match will be played on Thursday, March 3 from 7:30 p.m. (Colombia and Peru time) at the Atanasio Girardot stadium. The transmission of the meeting will be in charge of the signal of ESPN and Star Plus.

After their 3-1 loss to Olimpia in Paraguay, the Colombian team is obliged to win the match by two goals difference, to at least tie the score. The task is complicated but they are confident of achieving a positive result with their people.

After the defeat in the Copa Libertadores, Nacional added another loss, this time against Atlético Bucaramanga by 3-1. The team that until a few hours ago was led by Alejandro Restrepo, has as its main objective in the season to reach the group stage.

For her part, Olimpia will arrive rested, after her match against Sol de América was suspended due to a heavy smoke storm at the Defensores del Chaco stadium.

National vs. Olympia: match schedules

  • Peru – 19:30
  • Colombia – 19:30
  • Ecuador – 19:30
  • Mexico – 19:30
  • Venezuela – 20:30
  • Bolivia – 20:30
  • Chile – 21:30
  • Paraguay – 21:30
  • Argentina – 21:30
  • Uruguay – 21:30
  • Brazil – 9:30 p.m.

The last two defeats, added to the poor soccer level in recent games, forced the decision to leave coach Alejandro Restrepro. The DT in charge of directing the Cup match will be Hernán Darío Herrera, along with Carlos ‘Piscis’ Restrepo as assistant.

One of the criticisms made of Restrepo was his full confidence in Jefferson Duque, Dorlan Pabón and some other references, who were not at their best level, but continued to have opportunities in the starting team.

Olimpia, the favorite to keep the key, arrives with 9 games without knowing defeats. The Paraguayans left César Vallejo from Peru on the road, a team they defeated in both games.
