and then Christian making a great goal from outside the area to give them the lead.
The game was far from over. In the second half, Peñarol equalized again with Kagelmacher showing great desire to get a goal. Penarol turned the tie around when Britos climbed higher than everyone else and scored the winning goal, but without glory.
Athletico is ranked in second place in the group with 11 points, which means they could possibly face a stronger opponent ranked first and deciding at home. Peñarol are unable to qualify and say goodbye to the Libertadores.
