It wouldn't be (and wasn't) easy

Inter was already expecting a tough match.

They had two great chances before the break.

But Wesley was stopped by Ospina and Fernando hit the post.

Atlético Nacional brought a lot of danger with Hinestroza and the cerebral Cardona.

They were the team that attacked the most in the first half.

Alan Patrick DECIDES

Key players in Roger Machado's Inter, the wingers would make all the difference in the final stage.

Wesley was the first to be fouled. And Alan Patrick converted the penalty with category (50').

The always dangerous Atlético Nacional didn't feel the blow. And they brought a lot of danger.

Then the VAR indicated a red card for Hinestroza, which made the visitors' momentum drop.

And Inter, working the ball well, got there again. Vitinho was fouled and the Colorado number 10 left Ospina out of the picture again (82').

There was still time for another well-worked play. And ANOTHER goal from Alan Patrick.
