A lackluster Colo Colo, lacking in ideas and no answer to counter the homeowner, reaped a bitter 2-0 defeat against Atlético Paranaense at the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, for the fourth date of Group C in the Copa Libertadores de América.
With the result, Atlético Paranaense was the leader of Group C, with nine points, while Colo Colo, with six positives, is in second place and depends on what Jorge Wilstermann and Peñarol do, both with three units, this Thursday in Cochabamba. A draw is the ideal result to be on the right foot for the fifth date.
Colo Colo had no ideas or reaction to the blows of the Brazilians
From the first minute Colo Colo again showed a wrong approach. The players were poorly positioned on the court and did not pressure the Brazilians, who were given space and time to plan their dangerous attacks.
The start was disastrous, because after five minutes Colo Colo lost his best player, Pablo Mouche, who felt a muscular discomfort and asked for the change.
In the minutes with one less player, the albos were overcome and at the time of Leonardo Valencia’s entry came the advantage of Atlético Paranaense, with a Felipe Campos’ own goal, who tried to deflect a corner kick and ended up sending it to goal (8 ‘).

After the goal, the Brazilian team took possession and lowered the rhythm of the match against a Colo Colo who did not react and let them play against the rivals, who already felt satisfied with the advantage on the scoreboard.
The clearest of Colo Colo came in the discounts
In the second half, the script changed: Colo Colo took possession, but without a clear idea of the game and depth. The albos were unable to make collective moves and did not create any danger in the goal of goalkeeper Santos, who watched as a privileged spectator.
The strategy, however, was also hurt by an unexpected decline. Oscar Opazo felt a discomfort in the groin area and had to be replaced. Brayan Véjar went on to occupy the right wing and Gabriel Suazo, one of the high points in the middle of the court, had to cover the left side.
Only in the discounts, in minute 90 + 2, the team of Gualberto Jara had the clearest in the match. Campos intercepted a pass in the opposite field, was left with freedom of action and took a powerful right that went straight to the rival goal.
The next challenge for Colo Colo, on the fifth date, to be disputed September 29th, it will be in Uruguay, when I visit Peñarol. Atlético Paranaense, meanwhile, will continue in Curitiba, to receive the Jorge Wilstermann.
