An admirable and brave effort from La Lepra but it’s not to be. Nikão’s away goal kills hope of a dramatic comeback for #Newells after Leal had scored a brace.
FT: Newell’s Old Boys 2-1 Atlético Paranaense (Atlético win 4-2 on aggregate).
#NOBCAP
90+2’ | 2-1 | Absolutely shocking miss from Torres from a few yards out. Harder to miss but he kicks it wide. Embarrassing. #NOBCAP
90’ | 2-1 | Veiga nearly with an equaliser on the night but he can’t connect well with the ball to score into an empty net and his sliding shot is sliced wide. #NOBCAP
85’ | 2-1 | Goal for @AtleticoPRinEng. Nikão grabs a crucial goal to kill the tie. Frustrating. (agg 2-4) #NOBCAP
83’ | 2-0 | Subs: Wanderson on for Rossetto for Atlético and for #Newells:
🔼 Alexis Rodríguez
🔽 Juan Sills
#NOBCAP
81’ | 2-0 | Veiga has a chance to kill the tie for Atlético but Ibañez saves well. #NOBCAP
78’ | 2-0 | 12 minutes left and Newell’s need another goal to stay in the tie. A reminder that it's currently 2-3 on aggregate. C’mon La Lepra!! #NOBCAP #CONMEBOLSudamericana
70’ | 2-0 | LEAL!? Close. La Pantera nearly with a carbon copy of his 2nd but this time the glancing header is wide. Atlético are on the ropes. #NOBCAP
69’ | 2-0 | Joaquin Torres with two efforts in a row draws two big saves from Santos. #NOBCAP
68’ | 2-0 | Nikão hits the side netting with a dangerous free kick. A slight scare. #NOBCAP
65’ | 2-0 | GOAL: It’s La Pantera again! His glancing header hits the net after a sweet Fértoli cross. #NOBCAP
64’ | 1-0 | Substitution @AtleticoPRinEng:
🔼 Veiga
🔽 Guilherme
#NOBCAP
60’ | 1-0 | Atlético have the ball in the net again but it’s offside. They’re really starting to get into the game. #NOBCAP
56’ | 1-0 | Penalty to @AtleticoPRinEng. Looks like a clear hand ball from Sills in the box. #NOBCAP
55’ | 1-0 | Figueroa hits one from range but it flashes wide. #NOBCAP
52’ | 1-0 | Leal links up with Bernardello and then unleashes a shot from just inside the box. He gets under it too much though and it’s over the bar. #NOBCAP
48’ | 1-0 | Yellow card for Lucho González for a lunge at Juani Sills. #NOBCAP
45’ | 1-0 | Santos saves! Newell’s nearly with a second goal straight away. Fértoli with a frankly ridiculous solo run which the commentator compares to Messi. He beats 4 players and lays it off to Figueroa but his shot is saved low by Santos. #NOBCAP
HT | 1-0 | It’s a deserved lead for Newell’s at the break. We still need to score at least 2 more. Vamos La Lepra!
Newell’s Old Boys 1-0 Atlético Paranaense (agg 1-3)
#NOBCAP #CONMEBOLSudamericana
37’ | 1-0 | Newell’s Old Boys take the lead. It’s La Pantera who gets onto the end of a Fértoli defence-splitting pass to finish past Santos. (Agg 1-3) #NOBCAP
34’ | 0-0 | Yellow cards each for Bianchi and Nikão who were wrestling in the box prior to a Newell’s corner. #NOBCAP
26’ | 0-0 | Lodi has a long range shot saved by Ibañez after Nadalín is caught out of position. First shot on target for Atlético, I think. #NOBCAP
24’ | 0-0 | Shouts for a penalty as Figueroa dribbles into the box but in reality he took it too far and ran out of steam, no foul. #NOBCAP
21’ | 0-0 | Figueroa chips a through ball towards Leal. It’s a little too far ahead of La Pantera although he does get on the end of it, the angle is too tight and it’s into the side netting. #NOBCAP
16’ | 0-0 | Fontanini gets his head on the end of a free-kick into the box but it’s easily caught by Santos. #NOBCAP
12’ | 0-0 | Rivero has a long range drive saved by Santos after more good work from Figueroa. #NOBCAP
10’ | 0-0 | Victor Figueroa, who has been at the centre of everything thus far, nearly puts Newell’s ahead. His curling cross loops in towards the top corner but it’s just over as a diving Santos looks on. #NOBCAP
8’ | 0-0 | Rivero flashes a shot high and wide. Newell’s have started well and are putting Paranaense under pressure. Atlético, who are wearing bright orange, don’t look very comfortable playing on what is quite a soggy pitch. #NOBCAP
