Federico Mancuello is offside and tests Alejandro Medina, This was followed by Mauricio Isla’s left-hand pull, but as he tried to avoid the ball, it was too long for him. At this rate, the outlook for Libertadores becomes complicated – Riccardo Henrique Bocchini.

The players will have to put their heads up quickly when they visit Atlético Tucumán next Saturday.
