Carmelo Valencia, a misunderstood … Junior from Barranquilla started badly at home and lost 1-0, while Valencia missed two clear goal options. But that’s how football is and that’s how forwards are: Carmelo Valencia’s triplet and the shark team won 4-1 in Barranquilla against Independiente del Valle on the fourth round of Copa Libertadores.
The team that, temporarily, apparently, Luis Amaranto Perea directs, stopped a very tough Independiente del Valle, who had not lost, had 11 goals in favor and none against. Now, they dream of qualifying in Barranquilla.
The night started worrying for Junior, because at minute 20 Gabriel Torres managed to score after a superb move by Independiente del Valle. In addition, minutes before, Carmelo Valencia missed a very important goal option and there the criticisms began.
Minutes later, the same story. In the area, Valencia missed another goal and the questioning of Perea began for preferring him over Michael Rangel (remembering that Miguel Borja and Teófilo Gutiérrez were not available).
But there began the claim of the former player of Nacional, Millonarios, Santa Fe, América … Yes, it went through all. Minutes from the end of the first half, at 44, Valencia received a rebound inside the area and, almost not, scored the 1-1. So they went to the dressing room.
And it seems that in those 15 minutes of rest, Perea did ‘pick them up’ with scolding and they entered with a different attitude. Junior started managing the game. 55 minutes of play and the second came from Carmelo Valencia and Junior after a filtered pass.
From there, the shark team took over the ball and began to dream of victory, although Gabriel Torres had an important play in which the ball skimmed the post and a penalty was requested from Gabriel Fuentes, but the commitment was continued.
78 minutes and again, the criticized one, the one who did not miss the night: Carmelo Valencia. With all that a ‘9’ in the area must do, Carmelo received his back, turned around and won his back, and was hand in hand with the rival goalkeeper, Jorge Pinos; 3-1, triplet, and a sentenced victory for Junior.
His teammates did not want to leave him alone in the goal table and, to finally finish the game, Freddy Hinestroza scored a goal from outside the area to seal the 4-1 and three points from the shark. Junior had six points and is third in the table, while Independiente del Valle is first still with 9.
