The end of the Copa Libertadores 2024 It started with everything. At 30 seconds Gregor da Silva (former teammate of Lionel Messi in Inter Miami) applied a tremendous blow to the face of Fausto Vera who left the ex Argentinos Juniors with a cut. In view of the harsh infraction, the Argentine referee Facundo Tello decided to expel the man from Botafogo.
It is worth adding that the VAR of the match decided not to call him and also several users on the networks are sharing positive reactions to Tello’s decision. In this way, the Atlético Mineiro team began the final with a huge advantage.
Gabriel Milito’s team dreams of winning its second title. While Thiago Almada’s team was never champion of the Conmebol tournament. So he dreams of making history. It is worth remembering that in case of a tie in the 90 minutes there will be extra time.
While if equality persists the story will be resolved directly in criminal proceedings. As an extra piece of information, a definition was never reached from the twelve steps since the final was played in a single match..
UPDATE: Botafogo took the title
Despite the expulsion, Botafogo regrouped and took control of the match. First he opened the scoring thanks to Luiz Henrique after a good play by Thiago Almada. While shortly after he widened the difference through a penalty taken by Alex Telles.
In the second half, Mineiro achieved the discount thanks to a header from Eduardo Vargas at 60 seconds. Later it had several approaches. Although Botafogo defended well and in the last action of the match they sealed the 3-1 score through Junior Santos.
Reviewing the historical table of titles, Independiente continues to be the leader in solitude with seven crowns. Just behind is Boca with six. While Peñarol has five. For its part, Botafogo achieved the first title in its history. As a matter of color, he was the last ‘great’ of Brazil who did not yet have a Copa Libertadores in his showcase..
