América de Cali confirmed its opaque presence by not being able to beat an International from Brazil in its own stadium who had several casualties before the game and that played the last 35 minutes of the game with one less player for the expulsion of Leandro Fernández.
Those led by Juan Cruz Real were forced to win tonight to preserve the illusion of advancing to the eighth of the Copa Libertadores, but the tie left them with a foot and a half out of the tournament. The only thing that equality served the scarlet box was to take a point ahead of Universidad Católica, a Chilean team that could dispute third place in the group and qualify for the Copa Sudamericana in that way.
The Caleños felt the absence of their best player:: Duván Vergara, who was infected with coronavirus.
However, the collective game of the Reds was scarce, they did not have clarity or precision in the final meters. The Colombians also lacked a bit of luck as in the second half they smashed a ball into the rival goal post.
Taking out the calculator thinking about the round of 16 America needs to beat Gremio de Brasil by a landslide, as a visitor, and hope that Universidad Católica also beat Internacional in its stadium. Both seem unlikely, so the ‘red devils’ are all but eliminated.
