O’Higgins, on the other hand, will face Tolima or Deportivo Táchira in the last preliminary round of the Libertadores. Venezuelans and Colombians will duel tomorrow, starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), to see who survives in the tournament.
How was the game
Bahia took exactly 19 seconds to find the net and equalize the aggregate score. After the Chileans started the duel and lost the ball after the goalkeeper’s shot, Jean Lucas passed it to Everton Ribeiro, who accelerated the play and found Ademir — the attacker, already at the edge of the area, crossed low for Willian José to complete and warm up Fonte Nova: 1 to 0.
Even dominating the actions in search of the 2nd goal, the home team almost lost in the 18th minute. González, after a play that included a rebound from the Brazilian defense, dominated at the edge of the area, cut to his left leg and shot low at Ronaldo’s goal.
Rogério Ceni’s team continued to hammer O’Higgins and ended up winning in first half stoppage time. Pulga had even found the net, but saw the goal disallowed for offside before being brought down by Faúndez inside the area. Result? Penalty taken — and wasted — by Willian José, who took advantage of Carabalí’s rebound to redeem himself: 2-0.
