Chapecoense 2 Atletico Nacional 1: Emotional win for tragedy-hit Chapecoense
Reinaldo had earlier put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot, before Macnelly Torres levelled for the 2016 Copa Libertadores champions.The three surviving players – Alan Ruschel, Jakson Follmann and Neto – were presented to the crowd before the clash in emotional scenes.
The hosts took the lead in the 24th minute, Reinaldo converting from the penalty spot after a handball in the area.
Torres levelled for the Colombian outfit just before the hour-mark, turning and firing a 25-yard effort into the top corner, with Artur Moraes unable to keep it out despite getting a hand on the strike.
But Chapecoense would find a winner through Otavio, who headed in a Reinaldo corner in the 74th minute.
The second leg will be played in Medellin on May 10.
