Catholic University starred in an epic comeback this Thursday and qualified round of 16 since South American Cup, by turning an opposing marker with one less player, and winning by 2-1 to Sol de América in San Carlos de Apoquindo.
The game was complicated for the fringes, since in the first half the team did not have a good performance, partly due to the approach of coach Ariel Holan, who left Ignacio Saavedra on the bench.
The absence of the midfielder was felt by the team, without balance or the ability to have possession against the Paraguayans, who grew up and saw that they had the option of achieving a valuable away goal.
For the complement, Holan sent Saavedra to the court and balance returned, but the scene for UC got worse, since VAlber Huerta committed a foul in the area, and in addition to causing a penalty, he was sent off, leaving his team in the worst situation.
After Nildo Viera’s goal from 12 steps (57 ‘), Holan moved pieces, and removed César Pinares. I enter Diego good night, Y the Argentine emerged as a hero, with a goal from a free kick to equalize (64 ‘).

After the left foot of the “dwarf”, the UC gained momentum with the illusion of qualifying, searched with insistence and drive, and achieved the feat. Fuenzalida took a right hand, goalkeeper Rubén Escobar gave a rebound and Fernando Zampedri completed the comeback (81 ‘).
After the match, the UC players went to hug Buonanotte. An exciting moment for the trans-Andean midfielder, who in recent seasons was relegated to a substitute role and had a moment of glory on another epic day for the Crusaders.
In the next phase, Universidad Católica will face River Plate from Uruguay, that eliminated Atlético Nacional de Colombia.
