Sporting Cristal will be measured in local condition before The Strongest from Bolivia today tuesday may 2 in a duel valid for matchday 3 of group D of the Libertadores Cup 2023. The National Stadium of Lima will be the scene of a match between two teams that have been going through different realities and that could mean a turning point for the future.
Set ‘brewer’ He has not been going through a good sporting moment. And it is that they have not won a victory since the end of March (when they beat Academia Cantolao 2-0 at the Alberto Gallardo stadium). From there, one defeat and three draws is the balance of a team that walks aimlessly and is ranked sixth in the Apertura Tournament with 18 points.
However, the straw that broke the camel’s back to air the internal problems of the cast ‘bajopontino’ broke out after the recent match against Universidad César Vallejo. A disagreement between the technician Tiago Nunes and the captain Yoshimar Yotun unleashed a series of rumors that almost ended in the departure of DT. However, after meetings with the board of directors and other members of the squad, the Brazilian will continue in command. Added to this is the invasion of a group of fans at the Sunday training session at the National Stadium, which did not go any further but was carried out due to the lack of attitude of some footballers in the matches, being ‘Yoshi’ the main one pointed out.
With everything indicated, the two defeats in the continental tournament against Fluminense from Brazil (1-3 at home) and River Plate from Argentina (4-2 on the road) force the ‘celestial’ to go in search of victory against the Bolivians. If qualifying for the round of 16 is a utopia, the pass to the Copa Sudamericana through third place would be the immediate objective.
For his part, The Strongest It is the Bolivian team with the best present. It is placed as the leader of the domestic league with 23 units, four more than its main pursuer, Bolívar. In fact, so far this season they have not lost any match and have two draws and seven wins. The last one occurred last weekend, in the 3-1 defeat of Blooming with goals from Eugenio Isnaldo, Michael Ortega and Enrique Triverio, who is the team’s top scorer with eight goals, counting his double against River Plate.
exactly, the cast ‘aurinegro’ he beat the ‘Millionaire’ in the debut of the continental competition in La Paz by a score of 3-1, although they succumbed by the slightest difference against Fluminense in Brazil. For this reason, it will be an electrifying clash that will star against Sporting Cristal.
