[ESP-ENG] Los equipos brasileños salieron airosos en la ida de la libertadores // The Brazilian teams were successful in the first leg of the Liberators
¡Hola a todos los amantes del deporte!
Hello to all sport lovers!
Now, in sports matters, I bring you an article referring to the two matches played this week for the Copa Libertadores de America, with electrifying commitments and high soccer expectations with the quality of players from each club.
On Tuesday 05 and Wednesday 06 of January of the present year, the Ida matches of the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores de America 2021 took place, with high intensity matches between Brazilians and Argentineans, where Palmeiras and Santos Fútbol Club would not forgive in their first duel against Club Atlético River Plate and Club Atlético Boca Juniors, from Argentina.
And it is that, Brazil and Argentina, at level of selections always bring us good commitments, with emotion during all the encounter. In Copa Libertadores, Brazilian and Argentinean clubs stand out for their wide range of players, most of whom have already been in teams known for their good work in Champions, as is the case of Shakhtar Donetsk. From this Ukrainian club comes the fast and skillful Luis Adriano, who is 33 years old and has played in 4 leagues during his time as an active player.
River Plate vs Palmeiras
The cast "Millionaire", arrived at this match, after tying at two goals against Boca Juniors on Saturday, January 2, for the first division of Argentine soccer, meanwhile, Palmeiras, had only played on Wednesday, December 30, 2020 their last game, which ended up winning 2 goals for 0 against their similar of America Mineiro for the return of the semifinal of the Brazil Cup, with scores by Luiz Adriano and Ronielson da Silva Barbosa. In spite of these bad results of River Plate and Palmeiras, both would face each other in the Libertadores de America Stadium, home of the Atlético Independiente Club, from Argentina, with a capacity of 52,777 spectators. Likewise, the person in charge of the match was none other than the Uruguayan referee The first is Leodán González, 37, who has been international since 2016.
Un 3-0 mortal para la vuelta // A deadly 3-0 for the return
The first 25 minutes were very even, especially in midfield, where the match was interrupted in several passages of the commitment, which was mostly with many faults during the first half. After River Plate decided to advance their lines and get closer to the goal of the goalkeeper "Verdão", Weverton Pereira da Silva, the team directed by Abel Ferreira, was put on top of the scoreboard, with Ronielson da Silva Barbosa's score at 27', with a strong right leg shot, which left the Argentine goalkeeper Franco Armani without a chance. Ronielson, known as "Rony", is a 25 year old soccer player and in this encounter he was a headache for the "Millionaire" defense, commanded by Javier Pinola and Robert Rojas, who had to run the Brazilian forward. After having concluded the first stage, Gallardo's team left with the attitude of equalizing the match and going ahead on the scoreboard. Unfortunately, in the 47th minute, Luiz Adriano, placed the 2 for 0, with a huge run from the Argentinean defense, taking off the mark of Rojas and defining with much coldness before the humanity of Armani. Then, at 62', the Uruguayan midfielder of 23 years old, Matías Viña, would seal an epic night, giving the third goal to Palmeiras, thanks to the header inside the area, in an assistance of the player Gustavo Scarpa from the left sector of the field.
Para analizar // To analyze
From my point of view, River Plate lacks attitude in all the commitment. After Rony's score at 27', the team fell completely and had no response in the first period. In the second half, the expulsion of the Colombian Jorge Carrascal, under the encouragement of the local team and in a matter of minutes the third and last goal of the match would fall. It will be left to analyze everyone's attitude and the chips they must place for the return game, which is scheduled for this Tuesday 12th, at Allianz Parque Stadium.
Boca Juniors vs Santos FC
And what can be said about this great game? Worthy? Yes! Players with quality? No way! The "Xeneize" faced Santos Fútbol Club, in order to take advantage of Ida's commitment in the semifinal of the Libertadores, played in the famous Bombonera Stadium, in Argentina, where both teams came out with their artillery as far as the players are concerned; Such is the case of Eduardo Salvio and Carlos Tevez for the local team, while for the visit, the skillful Venezuelan Yeferson Soteldo and Marinho came out as the first team, who were indispensable in the "Alvinegro" attack during the first stage of many inaccuracies and imbalances in the attack. On the other hand, the referee of this match was the Chilean Roberto Tobar, 42 years old.
Un cero a cero, con oportunidad para los dos en la vuelta // A zero to zero, with a chance for both of us on the return
The trainer of Santos Football, Alexi Stival, 57 years old, proposed an intelligent game with a lot of depth in attack, giving freedom of movement to the Creole Yeferson Soteldo and the left-handed Marinho, who were a headache for the defense "Blue and Gold" in some passages of the match, where the technical director Miguel Angel Russo, had to order the midfield and send Nicolas Capaldo to mark "Manzanita", that is, Yeferson Soteldo. Soteldo, 23 years old and with a trajectory in Zamora Football Club, Venezuela, returned to this game, after not being able to face Grêmio because he tested positive for COVID-19. Then, in the second half, the variants would arrive from the visit, entering Sandry Roberto and leaving the field the extreme Yeferson Soteldo at minute 56', finishing this way the action for the Vinotinto. 22 Minutes later, the second modification would take place, entering the defender Mádson and leaving the field the attacker Kaio Jorge, with number 19. The encounter continued advancing and nothing that arrived the goal, until the collegiate sentenced the end to the minute 90+5'. The revenge (return), will be this Wednesday 13 of January, in the Urbano Caldeira Stadium, at 6:15, Venezuelan hour.
