Deportivo Cali continues to sink. The Azucarero team, which has never been relegated but this year is fighting for permanence, accumulates seven consecutive games without winning, in which it lost five games and drew two.
In this Sunday’s game, against Huila, played at the Guillermo Plazas Alcid de Neiva stadium, the hosts, who are direct rivals in the fight not to be relegated, took the three points with a goal from the Brazilian Marco Vinicius, who with a header took advantage of a bad clearance in the area by midfielder Rafael Bustamante.
After that result, the crisis deepened. And the atmosphere, amid the cries of players and fans, seems not to find the light. Not in vain, Pinto broke down in tears this Tuesday, when trying to talk about what is happening.
