Atlético-MG secured a crucial 1-1 draw against San Lorenzo on Tuesday (13th) in Buenos Aires in the Round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The match, held at the El Nuevo Gasómetro stadium, was marked by heavy pressure from the Argentine side, especially in the first half, where Galo struggled to create offensive opportunities.
San Lorenzo started the game with high intensity and took the lead in the 17th minute when Cuello headed in a cross from Baez. Atlético-MG, which was stifled by the opposition’s marking, failed to respond effectively during the first half, facing a well-organized defense and constant pressure from the home team.
However, the second half saw a significant change in the game. With a tactical adjustment during the break, Atlético-MG managed to balance the match. The team created good opportunities and found the equalizer in the 13th minute when Fausto Vera fired a shot from outside the box that led to a partial save by goalkeeper Altamirano. Paulinho seized the rebound and leveled the score.
Despite attempts by both teams to secure the win, the match ended in a draw. Atlético had a few more chances, including a good shot from Otávio, but couldn’t turn the game around. San Lorenzo also pushed in the final minutes, but goalkeeper Éverson made important saves to keep the scoreline unchanged.
The battle for a place in the Libertadores quarter-finals will be decided at the Arena MRV next Tuesday (20th). Atlético-MG needs only a simple win to advance.
