Colo Colo is still alive in the CONMEBOL Libertadores in search of the round of 16 and largely owes it to Arturo Vidal, who saved Jorge Almirón’s team from a defeat against Alianza Lima in Peru with a great goal, in the absence of a day for the culmination of the group phase.
However, the expulsion of the “King” for a second yellow card after a handball outside the area in additional time complicated the situation ahead of the decisive match with Cerro Porteño in Asunción, where the Albos will play all or nothing to continue in the Cup. .
Despite this, the Colocoline hosts hope to be able to reverse this sanction and count on the “King”, as pointed out by the president of Blanco y Negro, Aníbal Mosa, to finish the match.
“We are going to review the play and, if there is any precedent, we are going to appeal (the second yellow to Vidal),” said the helmsman.
For now, the Cacique hopes that Fluminense will give him a hand this Thursday against Ciclón de Barrio Obrero, knowing that with a victory for the Brazilians they could qualify for the round of 16 on the last day with a draw in Paraguay.
