YOUTUBE. With a goalless draw between Uruguayan Montevideo Wanderers and Paraguayan Olimpia, the curtain of the 2018 Copa Libertadores was opened in Montevideo in its first phase.
The first leg of the E1 key was played at the Luis Franzini Stadium and was evenly matched between the two teams, who despite their good intentions to provide a pleasant spectacle, could not hide their lack of rhythm.
Under these conditions, it was Olimpia who showed more experience and came closer to winning the match. In fact, in the 63rd minute, a goal by Walter Bogado was disallowed for offside and in the 72nd minute, Uruguayan Paulo Lima cleared the ball just in front of the goal line after a shot by Héctor Camacho.
This Friday, the second leg between Montevideo Wanderers vs Olimpia will be played in Asunción, and the winning team will advance to the second phase of the tournament, where they will face Colombian Atlético Junior. EFE
