Edwin Cardona was again a negative protagonist in the Copa Libertadores.
The steering wheel saw the red on Tuesday in Morumbí just after Atlético Nacional had achieved the suffered tie in front of São Paulo.
The Antioquia steering wheel, who already carried a yellow from the first part, fell back into the provocation of a rival and received the second card, leaving his team with a man less at the moment he seemed to be reborn the illusion of qualifying.
Cardona missed 2 penalties in the first leg.
Did not hit the game back and scored the goal
And in the celebration… the idiot was expelled.
The largest São Paulo in history.

The action came just after Alfredo Morelos scored the 1-1 penalty, a goal that had returned hope to the fans of Verdolaga.
However, Cardona's expulsion immediately changed the panorama: Nacional went from celebrating equality to having to reorganize in numerical inferiority against a rival who already dominated the process of the meeting.
The expulsion of the midfielder adds to his unfortunate series in this Copa Libertadores, because in the first leg he missed two penalties that could make a difference.
His departure left Javier Gandolfi's team conditioned and Cardona ended up being a negative protagonist in the two decisive games against the Brazilian club.
