Millonarios lost 3-2 in their visit to Bolivar and are seriously committed to Group E of the Copa Libertadores.
A goal after 3 minutes left the Blue Project without ground, and another goal after 10 minutes completely confused the team, which could not recover from the third goal despite playing with ten men. Despite more effort in the second half, in which the lead was reduced, it could not be equalized as the most obvious options in front of the match goal were wasted.

“If it was due to qualification, we should have finished the game, this is not a problem. I have bitterness in the quotes, because we could have tied the game, we didn't, it is not easy to play here. Bolivar is very strong with 11, with 10, 8 and 9”, admitted Camaro after the defeat. .
The result reconciles everything: today Bolivar is 5 points behind the blue, Flamengo, the favorite of the group, 4 and in the blue it expects to win everything and regress. Everything is bad, because even Alfonso loses his head and throws himself out.
Some critics, including Julian Cespedes of Win Sports, saw this: “They're proud of the draw with Flamengo, but they can't beat a Bolivian side. (Height) in the blues haven't taken off in the league either. So are they going to normalize the slump with Palestino? The Bolivianos drew the face of Millonarios' second-half try , that's not enough, he said on his X account.
And more salt to the wound: “Brand new draw against Brazilians today is of no use, 1 in 6 = loss. Same at continental level,” he said.
What's coming up for Millonarias in Copa?
The Blue team must defeat Palestine in two games, on April 25 as the visitors and on May 14 as the crazy team. And in Bogotá, they must beat Bolivar on May 8 when they visit Flamengo to try to close with at least a point in Brazil. Difficulty is not enough for what awaits the blue.
