At Arena MRV, Atlético-MG defeated Bolívar 1-0 this Wednesday (24th), in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Conmebol Sudamericana Cup.
Since the first leg ended 2-2 in Bolivia, the team from Minas Gerais managed to qualify for the semi-finals.
Highlights coming soon
The match was technically weak and showed very little creativity.
Galo, the home team and under pressure to win, failed to produce anything productive on the field. Especially in the first half.
In the second half, Atlético-MG pushed forward more, but still didn’t create much danger for the opposing goalkeeper.
And, in stoppage time, after a cross from the right, Bernard appeared unmarked at the far post to head the ball in and secure qualification.
🚦 What’s next
With the win, Atlético-MG now waits to see who advances from Once Caldas vs Independiente del Valle (first leg 2-0) to find out their opponent in the semi-finals.
The next stage of the continental tournament takes place on December 22 and 29.
Galo returns to the field on Saturday (27th), when they host Mirassol at Arena MRV, for the 25th round of the Brasileirão.
