Sporting Cristal He couldn’t beat him National Athletic in Matute and must play for third and fourth place in the Ciudad de los Reyes Cup against Alianza Lima.
In Guillermo Farré’s debut as coach of Rimense, the Colombian team took the lead after just one minute of play after a set play finished by Jhojan Amaya.
Sporting Cristal gradually raised its head and at 14′ Adrián Ascues assisted Martín Cauteruccio in a great way so that he could finish with class in the area.
However, the joy was short-lived for the team from Rimense. Just three minutes later Kevin Parra controlled a long ball, got past Jhilmar Lora and nailed it close to the second post despite Alejandro Duarte’s stretching.
Guillermo Farré’s team did not give up, but wasted many chances in the following minutes that ended up costing them dearly.
And at 72′ Nicolás Pasquini was sent off for a double yellow and Atlético Nacional had the table set to end the game. That happened at 93′ when a great team play ended in a shot on the post and Pablo Ceppelini captured the rebound to establish the final 3-1.
On Sunday the 30th in Matute, Sporting Cristal and Alianza Lima will define the third and fourth place in the Ciudad de los Reyes Cup while Atlético Nacional and Bolívar will define the champion of the friendly home run.
