Atlético Nacional resurfaces in the Copa Libertadores by defeating Internacional of Brazil in Medellín

Atlético Nacional achieved a much-needed victory in the Copa Libertadores, beating Inter de Porto Alegre 3-1 in Medellín in an intense match.

The Verdolaga team won with two goals from Kevin Viveros and another from Arce. Inter's goal, which added drama to the final minutes of the match, came from Alan Patrick , a penalty.

Nacional breathed a sigh of relief, regained life in Group F, and is back in the hunt for qualification. The Verdolaga team had a good match, especially in the first half, where they looked more solid and decisive.

Cardona was the first to try, but his accuracy was lacking. Hiniestroza, who was destroying the Inter full-back, also tried. Inter's star player, Enner Valencia, went off injured in the 35th minute, a significant loss for the Brazilian side.

Viveros provided the first opportunity with a volley inside the box in the 39th minute. The forward controlled the ball from Cándido's pass and finished beautifully.

After the break, Arce provided some peace of mind by scoring after a quick counterattack initiated by Ospina after a great save. Marino Hinestroza made a run that surprised the Brazilian defense and then left Arce one-on-one to finish and score in the 55th minute.

The match seemed easy for Nacional, who had a chance to score a third, but Inter accelerated and increased the pressure in the final minutes. The Brazilian side took possession and began to create danger.

In the 80th minute, Inter awarded a penalty, and Patrick took charge of the shot, powerfully beating David Ospina , who had a good performance overall, with some important saves. Viveros appeared again near the end and scored the third. Nacional is currently in a very tight group.
