yesanta Fe lost the option of getting much closer to the leader Once Caldas, in a game pending the seventh date of the League, in which it went from more to less and in which they could have lost against a Deportivo Pereira that played well, but lacked forcefulness to win more than the 1-1 this Thursday, in front of 12,324 spectators.
According to the criteria of
Santa Fe started very well, true to its style and with a lot of danger. And in the first quarter of an hour, those led by Pablo Peirano were already ahead in El Campín, making use of the Ex Law.
Juan Pablo Zuluaga, one of the architects of the only ‘matecaña’ star. He left goalkeeper Salvador Ichazo with no options when he headed a cross from Harold Santiago Mosquera. He did not celebrate it out of respect for the team with which he achieved the greatest achievement of his career.
But something was not right in Santa Fe. The club’s press office announced before the game that Ómar Albornoz was out for this game due to gastroenteritis. He wouldn’t be the only one, as the game showed as it progressed. The team was beginning to run out of gas.
Carlos Darwin Quintero’s great goal: new match
In the last play of the first half, at 45+2, Carlos Darwin Quintero invented the best action of the game to send the game tied at halftime. He started from the middle of the field and with the help of skill and dribbled, he opened space until he reached the edge of the area, where he finished with his left foot and beat goalkeeper Andrés Mosquera Marmolejo.
“I appreciate the team’s effort. You always want to contribute in that way, happy because a goal comes when there was no goal in sight. The point helps us, but it was not what we wanted,” Quintero told Win Sports.
The same problem that afflicted Albornoz also took Jhojan Torres out of the game at halftime, who had to stay in the dressing room. He was replaced by Jhon Duque, who also suffered a dramatic crash that left his shirt bloody and forced him to have stitches.
Santa Fe was still unable to find itself, but, despite this, it continued to fight and the game was hand to hand, because Pereira showed that he could play, attack and seek victory. His lack of aim and Mosquera Marmolejo’s extraordinary night prevented it.
El León found encouragement from where they didn’t have any and in the last play of the match, Ichazo had to fly to avoid the ‘Cardinal’ winning goal after a shot by Eduar López.
In the end, Santa Fe got the lesser of two evils on a very complicated night, a tie that leaves them fifth, with 21 points and still with two games in hand.
