The Colombian League caught up this Wednesday, when the match that was pending for the fifth date of the championship was played, between Deportivo Pereira and Once Caldas, at the Hernán Ramírez Villegas stadium.
It should be remembered that the game, which was scheduled for February 8, had to be postponed due to the winter tragedy that the municipality of Dosquebradas (Risaralda) experienced.
The new edition of the classic of the Coffee Region was for Once Caldas, who defeated Pereira 0-1 in a match with many approaches from side to side, but little effectiveness in the goals.

This was the classic between Pereira and Once Caldas
The beginning of the game was back and forth, with more initiative from Once Caldas, who little by little began to take advantage of their better disposition on the field.
Pereira, on the other hand, began to suffer and more, from minute 39, when the defender Carlos Garcés was expelled after a VAR review: he knocked down Mender García and both the video arbitration judges and the central defender Jorge Tabares considered that it was an obvious occasion the Gol. The subsequent free kick, charged by Marlon Piedrahíta, had no consequences.
A new intervention of the VAR, near the end of the game, gave Once Caldas the option to go ahead, and they did not waste it. The foul was a handball by Jherson Mosquera, which the judges took about six minutes to determine as a penalty.
