Deportes Tolima is looking to come back this Sunday from the 1-3 they conceded in the first leg of the BetPlay League final against Nacional (7 pm, Win Sports+).
Those led by Hernán Torres are playing their third consecutive league final. In the first they beat Millonarios, while in the second, played in December of last year, they fell to Deportivo Cali.
That is why on Sunday, Deportes Tolima will try to come back in a Manuel Murillo Toro stadium that is expected to be full to lift its fourth Colombian league and confirm that it is the best team in Colombia today.
A few hours before the ball rolls, Torres confirmed that he believes in the comeback and that his team will compete to win the title.

“Until Sunday the last evaluation will be given. On Sunday morning I will know if Plata can or cannot play. We will announce the news in the dressing room.”

“Most of our players have been champions. We know we have the need, but we will play an intelligent game, a game with order. We hope to see a very mature team.”

“We know the affection of all the people of Tolima. Tomorrow we will do everything possible to repay that faith and trust. Ibagué is a soccer city and I hope that tomorrow we can turn around.”
The final message to the fans to get excited about the comeback

First in God, who allows everything, and then in the players , who have everything to compete. We will do everything possible to reach the final and say: we gave everything”.

How do you face the final after what happened in the previous game?
“Luckily I have the opportunity to get up in the face of adversity. If you fail today, you’ll get up tomorrow. I’m calm. I’m very good. That’s life. That’s football. Nothing is going to bring me down. I’m fine. Tomorrow we go to reverse the situation”.
