In a sensational game, he omstrated reaction power and drew a draw against Nacional-URU 3-3 after losing 3-0 on Tuesday (22) in Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre. The game was also marked by VAR’s five interventions in the first half. With the result, Inter leads group F, with 5 points, while Nacional adds only one. Bahia (four points) and Atletico Nacional (three) play this Thursday (24) at Fonte Nova, in Salvador.
The distance of only 800 kilometers between Montevideo and Porto Alegre made the National team feel at home in Porto Alegre. The Uruguayan team was aggressive from the beginning and it was not long to open the scoring and surprise the International.
At two minutes, Recoba had already forced goalkeeper Anthoni to make a good save. At five there was no way. Ball in the Inter and Millán area was very smart to play beautiful and dodge Anthoni. VAR was triggered and confirmed the Uruguayan goal.
The advantage did not diminish the momentum of the national. Inter did not even have time to assimilate the first blow and has already received the second at ten, in counterattack. Villalba escaped on the right and crossed low for Boggio’s firm finish: 2-0.
Inter was only “wake up” in the match from 15 minutes. At 18, the colorada team beat a foul at the entrance of the area, before the national arm the barrier. Wesley appeared free by the right half inside the area and scored the goal, but the move was analyzed by VAR and contested.
At 25 minutes, new check from VAR. Inter wanted Millán’s penalty in Enner Valencia, but Bernabei was prevented at the beginning of the play.
The fans pushed Inter to the attack, while Nacional took a stand on waiting for the mistakes of coach Roger Machado’s team. At 35, Wesley made Mejía make a good save. At 36, VAR’s new participation in another impediment, this time from Wesley.
The national was dangerous in counterattacks. At 42, after Anthoni’s failure, defender Coates made the third of the National. Inter gained a certain hope of turning into the second half when Wesley was knocked down in the area at 45. Alan Patrick hit badly but diminished the disadvantage: 3 to 1, national.
And there was still time for another analysis of VAR. It was 54 minutes into the bid in which Bernabei hit the crossbar, which Inter players asked for a touch of hand inside the area, which was not seen by the arbitration team.
The Inter returned with a boring in the attack and the Argentine in less than ten minutes was missed, missed, was dangerous to the Uruguayan team, took a yellow card, but could not decrease the disadvantage on the scoreboard.
Inter came to press a lot, but both Borri and Enner Valencia showed problems to master the ball and get the finish. Nacional showed that he was ready to extend the advantage. Vargas entered 15 minutes in the match and, in the first touch of the ball, narrowly did not make the fourth goal Uruguayan, after beautiful play of Baez on the left.
At 21, Inter’s second goal came out. Oscar Romero made a release beauty to Bernabei. The side came free and only played to swing the net. Beira-Rio ‘caught fire’. Goalkeeper Mejía claims bruise to paralyze the match. But the catimba didn’t work out. At 27, Alan Patrick hit a corner of the left and Fernando climbed sensationally to put his head on the ball and tied the match.
Borré, Valencia, Alan Patrick and Wesley did tremendous rush about the defense of the national, chances were created, but the score ended even tied.
