At the 44th minute of the second half, Paraguayan team scored the away goal that allows them to dream of advancing to the second round of the tournament.
An agonizing late goal allowed Cerro Porteño from Paraguay to achieve their first victory in the Copa Libertadores against Curicó Unido from Chile in the tournament's phase 2 organized by Conmebol.
The goal was scored at the 44th minute of the second half, near the end, after a precise header from Juan Patiño following a pass from Antonio Galeano. The ball managed to enter the goal even though it seemed that it hadn't, causing momentary doubt about the goal celebration.
It should be noted that the match was aggressive, to the point that there were several players booked, including Federico Carrizo, Alberto Espínola, Augusto Barrios, Yerko Leiva, and Diego Churín.
With this result, the team led by Facundo Sava aims to advance to the next stage of the Copa Libertadores in the second leg to be played in Paraguay next Tuesday, February 28th.
