After 2 minutes, goalkeeper Mele had already saved his goal in a miraculous way, with which the League announced that it would not reach Barranqullla to lock itself up.

He started winning early, at 12 minutes, and got excited. Enamorado did one of his tricks and scored a penalty. Carlos Baccathe infallible one, executed and scored 1-0, they almost saved it. There was a carnival in the Metropolitano.

But the team did not have the control to finish. Enamorado missed a great opportunity to score, he would have been the second.

And meanwhile, the League came and went, with order and determination, and once again Mele avoided the Ecuadorian goal.

At the end of the first half, Liga de Quito arrived with danger, Didier Moreno knocked down an opponent and to the ground, in the area, a penalty. Nothing to do. Álex Arce scored coolly and scored the equalizer.

The Argentine referee Facundo Tello, after reviewing the VAR, called a penalty for the Colombians in the 78th minute after the winger Gabriel Fuentes sent a cross that the winger José Quintero deflected with his hand. A minute later, Venezuelan Luis 'Cariaco' González took charge and hit the ball into the right post, something that the crowd that attended the Metropolitan stadium regretted.

Junior will now have to visit Universitario de Perú and Liga in Quito, which is a risk, since he must recover abroad what he loses at home.
