🤯 Boss heads to dressing room on 89 mins, side concede and go out | OneFootball

In football, you need 90 minutes of focus. Practically everyone knows that... Except Cienciano coach Horacio Melgarejo.

With the aggregate score tied at 2-2 against Montevideo City Torque in the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals, he left the bench and headed to the locker room.

The idea was to come back and give the players instructions for the penalty shootout...

Cienciano, however, conceded a third goal in stoppage time, lost 3-0 (having won the first leg 2-0), and crashed out of the Copa Sudamericana.

Montevideo City Torque will face Atlético-MG in the semifinals. Boca Juniors and Vasco will contest the other matchup.

The final will be a single match on Saturday, November 21, at the Metropolitano Barranquilla in Colombia.
