La Dimayor raffled this Saturday the semi-final home runs of the promotion tournament, with Fortaleza and Quindío as top seeds. And in this phase a duel that at the time was controversial will be repeated.
The draw determined that, once again, Fortaleza and Llaneros would remain in the same semifinal group, group A, along with Barranquilla and Boyacá Chicó.
In zone B, they will play Sports Quindío, Atlético Huila, Tigres and Real Santander.
Why the pica between Fortaleza and Llaneros
: What happened a year ago between Fortaleza and Llaneros was controversial. These two teams and Unión Magdalena reached the last date of the semifinal with options to qualify for the final.
Fortaleza did not depend on anyone and had to defeat Bogotá to enter the fight for promotion. However, he lost 2-3. That result forced Llaneros to win by more than two goals or the Union to win by any result.
Llaneros was up 1-0 but, inexplicably, in the last minutes, Unión Magdalena turned the score around, given the evident passivity of the Villavicencio team’s defense, which conceded two goals in stoppage time.
The Dimayor announced an investigation and on December 31 of last year exonerated Unión Magdalena from any responsibility, which achieved promotion. Then, on May 23, he punished four players with a seven-month suspension: Manuel González, Jorge Duván Mosquera, Daniel Ramírez and Carlos Hincapié.
However, the club appealed and the ban was lifted. Everyone, except Hincapié, continues to play for Llaneros.
Now, the two teams meet again in the same home run and, in fact, they will face each other on the first date of the semifinal, on Roof, on a day and time that has not yet been announced by Dimayor.
