The Chilean team won 2-1 in Barranquilla and set foot in the semifinals. The return will be next Wednesday.
Coquimbo did not arrive in the first half, he did not have a very groundbreaking style, but he was very practical. And cash. In two shots on goal he scored the same number of goals to Junior in Barranquilla, he stayed with the 2-1 victory and took the advantage in this quarter-final bracket of the South American Cup.
Coquimbo couldn’t play much, but he ran enough. And after the goal of Joe Abrigo (73 ′), which was given by carom and by a rebound in the rival, the Chilean club took confidence and in less than 15 minutes it turned everything around.
He did it in the only coordinated attack action that Lautaro Palacios concluded with a shoe that was impossible to contain for Sebastián Viera, who did not have much work throughout the game. Half of that goal was Cristofer Salas, who got between three and enabled his partner.
Hard blow for a Junior who opened the account with a penalty from Miguel Ángel Borja after an infraction by goalkeeper Matías Cano, who knocked him down in the area. That happened in the 25th minute, when the Barranquilla team dominated without problems and almost without worrying about defending, as their rival passed the line of the ball from time to time.
Júnior dominated until the intensity dropped, until he became confident, until he forgot to specify the options he had. Prize for the visitor and the claw of playing on a complicated court. Problems for the local that now must travel to the south of the continent to turn the key.
Of course, first he will have to face America in the semifinal of the Colombian league, this Sunday, and then think about what the long journey will be like. COVID-19 was in charge of hitting Júnior before he entered the field (eight positives) and Coquimbo finished him off.
