What’s more thrilling than a team pulling off a comeback in the knockout stages of a great tournament? How about a team coming back only to have the other team grab a winner five minutes from fulltime? That’s what it looks like will happen as Penarol have scored not long before the final whistle to go ahead 3-2 on aggregate in the quarterfinals of Copa Libertadores against Universidad Catolica.
Universidad Catolica Vs. Penarol, 2011 Copa Libertadores: Penarol Goes Ahead Five Minutes Before Fulltime
Penatol entered the second leg ahead 2-0, but UC had come back to level the tie at 2-2. With five minutes to go and the match looking destined for penalty kicks though, Fabian Estoyanoff got on the end of a Carlos Valdez cross and finished to put a stake through the heart of UC and their boisterous supporters than have pushed them on all night. If Penarol can hold on for just five more minutes they will be through to the semifinals, but the way this match has gone holding on is far from a guarantee.
