Without clarifying the doubts and uncertainties related to his football, but with a good result in his pocket, Junior made his debut in the Copa Libertadores 2021. The rojiblanco team defeated Caracas FC 2-1, last night at the stadium of the Central University of Venezuela, annotations by Miguel Borja (69 minutes) and Willer Ditta (90 + 1).
Rojiblancos were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 36 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by African Samson Akynyoola.
Junior assumed ball and game control from the first minutes, but, as usual, without enough depth, dynamics, determination and intensity to get over his opponent.
Fredy Hinestroza, who was the most active in the first half. He played a good job on the left Miguel Borja was unable to round. He missed the last shot with the “flag” on the left. The ball passed over the crossbar.

The far left returned to the ring and had some damage to the left that did not reach a successful conclusion. The best came after a spectacular concert that ended in his sector. Hinestroza finished with the left foot, but the goalkeeper Beycker Velázquez reacted correctly.
Junior dominated with a participatory “Cariaco” González, with the departure of his teams and the support of Fabián Ángel, who was burdened with good changes in front. However, it took spark, ingenuity, passing, center, shot and the right decision in the last quarter of the field to reflect on the scoreboard the superiority that was beginning to be seen in the process of the game.
Jhon Pajoy contributed little and it seemed unclear about his role as a liaison with extremes and Miguel Borja.
Amidst his failures to break through and dismantle the scoreboard, Junior Viera’s defense, calmly breathed a sigh of relief when Richard Celis found the back of the net and allowed Samson Akynyoola to score. African, to be precise. , defined 1-0.
The goal deflated the good shown by TiburoneYes, they messed up, got confused and relapsed into their passivity.
