Millionaires match action vs. Once Caldas

Alberto Gamero’s team reached that figure after beating Once Caldas 1-0.

Millonarios remained the leader of the League, now with a three-point advantage over Nacional and four over Tolima, after beating Once Caldas in a tough match at Campín this Friday (1-0, goal by Daniel Ruiz, from a penalty). .

The team led by Alberto Gamero achieved a record for the club in short tournaments. Not counting the elimination group that was played at the end of 2020, it is the first time that Millos has won seven games in a row in semi-annual tournaments.

Nacional holds the record for short tournaments

The best record since the short tournaments began is held by Atlético Nacional, who won 10 games in a row in the first half of 2017. And the second also belongs to the Greens, with 9 consecutive wins last year.

Millonarios had not won seven games in a row in the League since 1989. Their best historical mark is 11 wins, in the 1949 season.

The absolute mark of triumphs is from Cali and America

The absolute record in Colombian soccer is shared by Deportivo Cali, who achieved 14 wins in 1971, and América, who equaled that mark in 1996.
