Colo Colo achieved an agonizing victory against Cerro Porteño in its debut in the Copa Libertadores, in a duel marked by the saving score of Lucas Cepeda that unleashed madness in the Monumental Stadium.

In the complement, Colo Colo lived minutes of terror, after Cristian Báez appeared unmarked on a corner kick and made it 1-0 for Cerro Porteño, but the VAR annulled the conversion by lead position.
This raised the crowd at the Monumental Stadium and, in turn, Jorge Almirón’s team, which regained control of the actions, while the Paraguayans bet on a tie.
However, in the 94th minute Lucas Cepeda appearedwho combined with Carlos Palacios, taking advantage of a rival’s slip to take a low shot and place the only number of the match.
With this, Colo Colo was the exclusive leader of his group in the Copa Libertadores, since Alianza Lima and Fluminense tied 1-1 in Peru.
