Cristian Techera shot the stick and missed the draw in Sport Boys vs. Ayacucho FC for Copa Sudamericana

Sport Boys has been winning at home by 1-0 against Ayacucho FC at the duel back for phase 1 of the Copa Sudamericana. The parity in the game is more than evident at the National Stadium, where both seek to move to the next round. The 'porteños' are more determined by the support of their fans. However, the draw could come if it wasn't because Cristian Techera's shot hit the stick, which could be 3-1 overall.

This action was carried out 31 minutes into the first half. In fact, the start of the play was a free kick taken by the defender of the 'chalacos', Eddy Renteria. The shot hit the barrier but the ball was won by the locals. However, they failed to keep it and suddenly the backlash of the 'foxes' was armed. Techera won a ball in midfield. The football was long but his teammate Othoniel Arce managed to win that play and played with Nicolás Royón. He saw that Cristian was projecting in the direction of the arch and enabled him in a great way. The small steering wheel was left in a heads-up with goalkeeper Patricio Álvarez, but his shot with the left hit the left crossbar of the Boys goal. Arce was on the rebound but the pink defense defended well in that action.

The error in the face of the arch can cost visitors. Considering that they are low on the scoreboard in this second leg duel, it may cause the 'chalacos' to go for the second and seek to equalize the series to even things up and go through the standings to the next stage.
