📹 Inter knock out Nacional, edge closer to last 16 spot in the Libertadores This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. In Central Park, Montevideo, Internacional defeated Nacional 2-0 on Thursday (15th), in the penultimate round of the group stage of the 2025 Conmebol Libertadores. In a classic Brazil vs. Uruguay atmosphere, the match was very intense, even with some shoving between players on the field. Advertisement But the Colorado team showed great concentration and tactical discipline. At the end of the first half, Ricardo Mathias—a young player and coach Roger Machado's choice to lead the attack—finished Aguirre's cross to open the score for Inter. After the break, the Uruguayans increased the pressure, hitting the post twice, but Inter managed to hold on to the victory. In stoppage time, Aguirre launched a deadly counterattack, dribbled past the goalkeeper at midfield, and advanced freely to seal the score! 🚦 Current Standings With this result, Inter reached eight points and took second place in Group F, just behind Atlético Nacional (nine points). Advertisement Bahia is in third place with seven points, and Nacional—with four points—is eliminated and only fighting for a spot in the playoffs of the Copa Sudamericana's round of 16. Colorado will try to secure qualification on May 28, when they host Bahia at Beira-Rio in the last round of the group stage. Inter returns to the field next Sunday (18th), when they host Mirassol at Beira-Rio for the ninth round of the 2025 Brasileirão. 📸 Ernesto Ryan - 2025 Getty Images
