Atlético Nacional beat Racing 4-2 on Thursday and took the lead in the heart-stopping confrontation between two former champions for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, to be defined next week in Argentina.
Central defender Cristian Zapata, captain for this match in the most winning team in Colombia, scored the first goal in the 33rd minute.
Jefferson Duque (61) and Maximiliano Cantera (83, 90+5) increased the score at the Atanasio Girardot stadium in Medellín (northwest). Gonzalo Piovi discounted with a penalty double (87 and 90+4).
The Academy, winner of the most important title on the continent in 1967, will seek to turn the exciting series around next Thursday at home.
But in Avellaneda, the two-time champion Atlético Nacional (1989 and 2016) will seek to resist to face the winner between Nacional from Uruguay and Boca Juniors in the next round.
Atlético Nacional is in the process of coming out of one of its worst moments in this century. In June the green paisa lost the final of the Colombian league against Millonarios, his historic rival and pursuer in the list of winners.
The Brazilian Paulo Autuori resigned as technical director with the fans against him due to his defensive play and was replaced by his assistant William Amaral, who changed his philosophy for a more offensive style.
Against Racing Amaral he could not lead due to lack of a license from Conmebol, but his team looked looser to look for the opposite goal. Diego Arias, winner of the Libertadores as a player in 2019, took his place.
The purslane attacked prudently until in minute 34 he had a free kick in his favour. The Argentine central defender Gonzalo Piovi tried to reject, but with his head he brought the ball closer to his goal and Cristian Zapata, almost without wanting to, put his foot down and ended up scoring the goal. Another young coach, the Argentine Fernando Gago, watched the development of the match with concern.
Racing generated little danger and with half an hour to go before the end of regular time, its players had altercations with their rivals. Shortly after a hint of a brawl, midfielder Neyder Moreno got away to the right and assisted forward Jefferson Duque, who scored the second.
Uruguayan Maximiliano Cantera, who has just arrived in Medellín from Maldonado in his country, scored the third with a header. Gago moved the chips before what was a win and the match changed completely. Instead, from the stands, Amaral celebrated with shouts and moving his arms up and down.
A tsunami of 4 goals in the last 12 minutes of the opening game of the key in Medellín, took away Atlético Nacional the tranquility of an almost assured qualification to the quarterfinals against Racing.
After going 3-0 ahead until minute 83, ‘La Academia’ made the purslane panic with two successive penalty goals (84 and 90+4), although a new and rude mistake by the blanquiceleste defense at 90+ 5 returned the soul to the body to the paisa fans in the Atanasio Girardot.
And now the question appears rather complicated for those led by Fernando Gago facing the decisive match on Thursday at the Cilindro de Avellaneda, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
River, Argentine champion and candidate for the continental title, will have to sharpen his aim or at least raise the scoring rate compared to the chances generated if he intends to win his fifth Libertadores shield.
Inter gave the “millionaires” too much work in the first leg in Buenos Aires, where the local team was at a 0-1 disadvantage until striker Pablo Solari, who came on from the bench, turned it around with a brace that brought relief to the 83,000 fans present at the Monumental.
