Junior lost
Junior de Barranquilla leaves many doubts with the new era of coach César Farías and the result ended up being adverse for the shark after falling surprisingly 4-3 at the Metropolitano stadium against Águilas Doradas. However, the match was complex in which there were defensive errors and refereeing controversies.
The big surprise of the match came in the 16th minute when Jeisson Quiñones scored after a good shot on goal that beat Santiago Mele, who had to clear it out of his goal.
Águilas Doradas continued their dominance and in the 30th minute scored the second goal through Jorge Ramos, who executed a penalty very well by placing it under the left post of Mele, who unleashed his impotence at not being able to avoid the catastrophe that was coming.
In an unbridled move, Junior attacked after having two goals against and found the goal of discount by chance until minute 45+4 in which an own goal by Víctor Moreno gave a little life to the shark. 1-2 on the scoreboard and everything was going to be decided in the second half.
That goal before the break motivated them and right away in the 60th minute, Junior began to get excited when they equalised 2-2 thanks to Emmanuel Olivera, who headed in and took advantage of Yeferson Moreno’s assist with a cross into the area after a corner kick.
However, the visitors wanted to show that their goals at the Metropolitano were no fluke and reacted quickly thanks to their star player Jeison Quiñones, who took advantage of the header to score his double and put his team back in the lead 3-2.
That was a strong emotional blow for Junior and Águilas Doradas knew it, so Yéiler Góez was in charge of finishing with a strong right-footed shot to score the impressive 4-2 in Barranquilla.
Despite the wide difference, Junior took one last chance in the final minutes when they had a penalty in their favour which was taken by Steven ‘Titi’ Rodríguez, who was fortunate enough to tighten the game shortly before the end.
Around minute 90+3 there was a handball in the area by an Águilas Doradas player and unusually the VAR determined that there was no foul and did not even call the central referee Jhon Ospina.
On Saturday, Santa Fe returned to competition after a 20-day break in the League and defeated Fortaleza, 1-3, at the Techo stadium.
