RAMÍREZ, THE GOAL MAN

FORY: DOS EN LIBERTADORES
Pereira was never satisfied with 1-0 and kept looking to increase the score, so the 2-0 came before finishing the initial stage through the winger Jimer Fory, who received a great assist from Angelo Rodríguez and as in La Bombonera, appeared with surprise to extend the score.
