Independiente Vs. Peñarol: Facundo Parra Goal Puts Diablo Rojo Ahead

Independiente lacked the final touch to create great goal scoring opportunities in the first half of their Copa Libertadores match against Peñarol, but they have looked like a completely different team coming out of the gate in the second half. Facundo Parra has scored a goal just two minutes after the start of the half to put Independiente ahead, but while his finish was great, the goal was a complete team effort, made by some great exchanges of one touch passing. It was obviously the kind of thing that only a team with skilled players who had played together before could produce, making everyone wonder, “Where was that in the first half?”

The entire Independiente midfield and forward line was involved in making the goal, exchanging a number of passes between them before Parra played a one touch pass out to the left flank. The ball was promptly returned to him with a cross, and yet again, with his first touch, Parra did exactly what he intended with the ball, redirecting it into the back of the net to give his team a 1-0 lead.
