Colombian midfielder Carlos Sierra scores a brace and gives life to Deportivo Lara

Colombian midfielder Carlos Sierra scored a brace and gave life to Deportivo Lara, who beat Millonarios 2-1 this Tuesday in the fourth match of Group G of the Copa Libertadores and climbed out of the bottom.

Sierra took advantage of a subtle pass into the area from creative Pedro Ramírez to give the home team the lead in the 9th minute. He increased his goal tally to 2 in the 27th minute by converting a penalty committed on Ramírez, one of the standout players of the match.

Striker Ayron del Valle pulled one back for Millonarios from the penalty spot in the 69th minute.

With this result, Deportivo Lara enters the fight for a spot in the second phase of the continental tournament, climbing to second place for now, awaiting the result between the Brazilian Corinthians and the Argentine Independiente, the other two teams involved in the group.

Meanwhile, the Colombians drop to third place.
