UH, Mastantuono's double almost arrived. Great free kick taken by the 17-year-old that goes slightly wide of the wall and hits the net but on the outside. What class this kid has at his feet. Great chance for the Gllardo's team

New arrival of the Millonario team. Franco Mastantuono makes a pass typical of him, sending the ball to the opposite winger, in this case Miltón Casco, who controls with his chest, shoots with his left foot and sends the ball to the side of the net that does not add up to a goal.
