The Catholic University suffered more than necessary, but achieved its mission of reaching the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana. The Chilean team lost by the minimum account to River Plate of Uruguay, but he made the 2-1 lead prevail in the first game of the series.
The Uruguayan team faced the duel with aggression and, with combative momentum and abuse of rough play, managed to complicate a university club that was far from its best performance.
Those of Ariel Holan had complications in the elaboration, their transitions were slow and they never found depth in the last section of the court. His chances of scoring were minimal and in the end he ended up taking refuge against an opponent who played with one less for almost the entire second half, after the expulsion of Sebastián Piriz in the 53rd minute.
UC did not function collectively or individually. The midfield did not have the rhythm of other occasions and its attack men were constantly isolated, far from the ball.
In sheer sweat and suffering, the crusaders carry on. They are already among the eight best in the contest. And they go for more. Although now the rival will be more poster, well They will look for the continental semifinal against the Argentines of Velez Sarsfield.
Suffering is also worth it, university students will think. And oh yes. There are reasons: after a saving slap from Matías Dituro in the last minute of discount, they took another step in their international dream.
