Atlético Nacional Dominate and Thrash Nacional
Atlético Nacional triumphed 3-0 over Nacional this Wednesday in the opening match of Group F of the Copa Libertadores. The Colombian side controlled the game from start to finish, further deepening the crisis of the Uruguayan team, who endured a nightmare at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot in Medellín.
The goals for Atlético Nacional, managed by Argentine Javier Gandolfi, came from winger Marino Hinestroza, who was the standout player, also providing two assists to forwards Kevin Viveros and Alfredo Morelos.
Nacional, under the guidance of Martín Ligüera as head coach, failed to address the issues that led to Martín Lasarte's departure the previous weekend. The team was completely outplayed, and Atlético Nacional could have scored even more goals.
