Coquimbo Unido and Defensa y Justicia left open the definition of the semi-finals of the 2020 Copa Sudamericana by tying this Tuesday with no goals in the first leg, played at the ‘Manuel Ferreira’ Stadium in Asunción, Paraguay.Remember that the first crossing of this long semi-final was to be played at the Estadio Nacional de Santiago, but due to cases of coronavirus in the Argentine painting – which were eventually false positive – the duel was suspended and moved by controversial decision from Conmebol to ‘Guarani’ soil. The one-way clash in the Paraguayan capital was characterized by a constant struggle in the middle of the court and many individual duels on the banks. A duel more of study than decision, so all the chips will be played in the rematch. The encounter illusionled from the initial whistle with two arrivals thoroughly. The minute the Chilean cast had it through Rubén Farfán, who faced it, pulled out a center on the right and the ball ended up closing and hit the top of the crossbar. After cardboard he notified the team led by Hernán Crespo. A long, pivotal ball of Walter Bou and Braian Romero came head-to-head with Matías Cano, but his shot was barely deflected. At the end of the initial lapse, the ‘Hawk’ arrived safely again. Enzo Fernández provided precise assistance to striker Brian Romero, the great figure of the visitor, who wanted to surprise Matías Cano above but the ball went up. The clearest thing about the cast of Juan José Ribera in the complement and perhaps the match came in the 90′. They caught a bad stop behind Defense and Ruben Farfán left with only an advantage running towards the rival arc, but it took time to define and they caught their punchline. The return of this semi-final will be played on Saturday, January 16, from 20:30 hours at the Norberto Tomaghello Stadium, in the province of Buenos Aires..
