Santiago Wanderers vs Melgar play in the second phase of the Copa Libertadores in Valparaiso. The team of Enrique Meza started with the left foot, after receiving the 1-0 in less than two minutes; however, the protagonist of the match was a flag that broke. The main referee had to stop the game three times to find a solution.
The match between Santiago Wanderers vs Melgar had many pauses, not to attend to a player inside the field, but due to a broken flag that couldn't stand up for too long. The only solution was to call a man with a hammer to try to put it back on the ground.
Not even two minutes of play had passed when Rafael Viotti scored the first goal for Santiago Wanderers. Chilean Matías Fernández went through the right wing, surpassed an opponent and crossed to the center so that the forward could push it and beat Diego Penny for the 1-0 of the Chilean club against Melgar in the Copa Libertadores.
Later on, Bernardo Cuesta defined well against Mauricio Viana to equalize momentarily in Valparaiso.
Melgar arrived in Chile on Sunday night with a delegation of eighteen players and three absences due to injury, including their captain, Ysrael Zúñiga, who suffered a tear in his left thigh.
The Mexican coach Enrique Meza will entrust the leadership to his compatriot Omar Tejeda and the goal-scoring to the Argentine Bernardo Cuesta.
