Double by Jefferson Duque for the 4-0 Atlético Nacional vs. Pereira | VIDEO

Atlético Nacional’s overwhelming offensive power is reflected in the 2021 Colombia Cup final against Pereira. Despite the comfortable lead they took on the scoreboard, the team did not stop attacking and managed to extend the result, again thanks to the intervention of striker Jefferson Duque.

The actions were totally favorable for the ‘Verdolagas’ and at 71 ′ there was the opportunity of a new goal. The experienced striker, who had already shown his qualities when it came to finding a space, again caused suffering in the rival defense, who seemed to be exhausted by the defeat they suffered.

Jefferson Duque received in the area and immediately received the mark of defender Danny Cano, who had not planned to let him pass. However, he could not do much to get the ball and was left out of the play when he was tricked with a hitch. His goal was completely at the disposal of the scorer.

Goalkeeper Santiago Castaño tried to anticipate the definition and positioned himself on his left post, but left a lot of space at his near post. That oversight ended up costing him dearly: the Atlético Nacional attacker defined in that direction, unleashing the joy of all the fans.

Pereira no longer has the chance to at least aspire to a draw in this final of the Colombia Cup and they will have to settle for second place. The ‘Verdolagas’ have shown a better individual and collective level, so the crown of the contest will be a fair prize.
