The Strongest Bids Farewell to Libertadores Despite Victory: Peñarol Advances to Quarterfinals
The Strongest defeated Peñarol 1-0 in the second leg but was eliminated from the Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores due to a 1-4 aggregate defeat, despite delivering an offensive and fierce performance that was not enough against the determined Uruguayan side.
In the first half, the Bolivians dominated, showing their desire to secure a victory with every attack. However, Peñarol's solid defense limited their opportunities, allowing only a penalty goal by Triverio in the 44th minute.
In the second half, fatigue was evident in both teams, reducing the number of chances created. The Strongest continued to push but couldn't score more goals, while Peñarol focused on defending their significant lead.
With this result, the Uruguayan team advances to the quarterfinals of the Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores 2024, continuing their quest for Eternal Glory, with special coverage by beIN SPORTS.
