He played the worst game. Hesitant, meek and erratic in defense, flat, predictable, without spark and totally sterile in attack, Junior succumbed to Barcelona of Ecuador and wasted an unbeatable opportunity to reach the last date with better chances of qualifying in Group A of the Copa Libertadores , whose leaders are Flamengo, who beat Independiente del Valle 4-0 at the Maracaná stadium.
Only a miracle (see separate note) would deliver the ticket to the next phase to the Sharks, who excited with two consecutive victories (against the two Ecuadorian rivals) and disappointed on Wednesday night with a presentation without the vitality, success and hierarchy that is required in an international tournament.
Everything went wrong for Luis Amaranto Perea. From the bet to leave his scorer and main hiring in the bank, Miguel Ángel Borja, who also sat before Envigado, in the League (Incredible!), To the changes to try to straighten the weak performance of the players.
The rojiblanco team entered with some enthusiasm and trying to open the scoring. Clan! Freddy Hinestroza blew the Barcelona goal with a left-footed free kick that kissed goalkeeper Javier Burrai’s upper-left squad.
Uuy! … Later ‘Cariaco’ González, in one of the few plays in which he appeared, eluded several men with the skill that has been expected for so long and caused anxiety in the visiting area.
Only ‘uys’ and postazos (later two others were given), Junior, as before Envigado, lacked clear ideas, depth and daring. Marlon Piedrahíta assumed a determined and judicious commitment in search of spaces and routes to the goal. One swallow does not make a summer.
From time to time Hinestroza, with his mid-distance attempts, and Cetré, with his sporadic right-handers that ended in a foul, suggested the possibility of a goal. But they were isolated searches, there was no solid collective work that subdued the adversary.
In the midst of that lack of ingenuity and greater aggressiveness to overcome the opposite, the rear stammered over and over again putting Viera’s cabin at risk.
It was inevitable to remember Rafael Pérez, the Cartagena wall that is on loan to Talleres de Córdoba. Dany Rosero, who usually lives on a tightrope, was less reliable than ever, while Germán Mera had serious leaks and Gabriel Fuentes cracked them even more.
Junior’s defenders looked so bad that a striker with poor technique like Jonatan Álvez, who passed without pain or glory through the shark box, drove with ease and ease. They couldn’t stop him all night without needing to.

The difficulties of the local back were in evidence in the agony of the first half when Byron Castillo, who had already threatened on several occasions, took advantage of Fuentes’ complacent sight and with a shrapnel he beat Sebastián Viera by the same stick he was guarding.
A 1-0 that brought stress to the 15 minute break. The concern was worse starting the second half when ‘el Loco’ Álvez, who was dying for a goal, was enlivened by a new scene of Rosero’s naivety and headed a ball that took Viera badly positioned, who was trying to rescue the ball. Final law of the ex. The charrúa celebrated by apologizing to the red-and-white fans (that was implied by his gestures).
The 2-0 put the result too uphill and the technical bench did not come solutions. There, Perea saw Borja as a savior. He sent the Cordovan in the company of Sherman Cárdenas to remedy such a mess.
He took out ‘Cariaco’, who was wandering the field, and Cetré, who was at least moving and trying. It was preferable to replace Carmelo Valencia, who was as lost as González. Much more when passing it to the side after the changes. It disappeared completely.
Then Rangel came in, who is still very far from the gunner who was working out everything and showed a desire in America, and Larry Vásquez, who was not noticed. Changes that are neither hot nor cold. Barcelona defended itself without much trouble, beyond the posts of Fuentes (he threw it out) and Borja, before a blurred Junior, without rhyme or reason, who went from illusion to disappointment.
