Millonarios started the Colombia Cup with a bitter taste, they did not lose, but the 0-0 draw against Bucaramanga in El Campín, with an erratic game, tasted like defeat. Now they will have to go and win in the second leg of the round of 16 if they want to move forward in the tournament.
According to the criteria of
The first half deserved a reward for the brave people who did not fall asleep in the stands. It was a flat match, of little efficiency, of very few emotions. The first 45 minutes seemed eternal, because nothing was happening. Bucaramanga maintained its order; Millonarios tried some approaches, but without real danger.
Millionaires needed that Daniel Ruz appeared more, that the ball reached Giordana clearly, that the wingers penetrated better, that defensive nuts were tightened, that they took better care of their backs, that Sambueza was not so free. Those were all tasks to chat about at halftime.
For the second half Delvin Alfonzo went to the field, it was necessary, it was a necessary change. Millonarios wanted to look more compact, more confident. It didn’t get better.
Bucaramanga assumed initial dominance, even Mena made the first shot on goal, a normal shot, just enough to worry a little, enough for Montero to intervene and for Gamero to ruffle his hair.
The blue game did not improve. Spark was missing. Gamero sent Mackalister Silva onto the field to see if the genius would illuminate the team’s progress. But not. What’s more, Bucaramanga created a good play from behind and ended in a good shot by Sambueza, it went wide, but it was the best of the game.
The best of Millonarios in 90 minutes was at the end, a shot by Leo Castro, who entered the field and caused a scare with his first touch, and a header by Llinás in the epilogue. That was it. Blue has to go and beat a tough Bucaramanga in the second leg.
