Neither Junior could make his house respected in the coastal classic, nor Magdalena Union He was able to take advantage of a rude error by Sebastían Viera to win again at the Roberto Meléndez stadium.
This Thursday’s 1-1 in Barranquilla puts Junior in eighth place with 25 points, but waiting for what happens between Once Caldas and Nacional to see if it’s enough to finish the date among the eight.
For its part, Unión Magdalena also reached 25, but with a worse goal difference, which, yes or yes, is outside the eight until Saturday, at least. But the tie helps him go one step further to save the category this year.
Viera’s serious mistake that the Union took advantage of
Unión found the advantage after a rude mistake by goalkeeper Sebastián Viera. In the 39th minute, the Argentine Diego Chávez received over the band and took a cross, looking for the second post, where Jermein Peña stung with surprise. The goalkeeper Sebastián Viera came out to cut the action, but released the ball and left it dancing at 18, for Peña to send it to the back of the goal.
Junior quickly got the tie, after the break. In the 54th minute, a bad clearance by the Unión Magdalena defense fell to Walmer Pacheco, who took the rebound and finished off with first intention, from outside the area. Violent kick, great goal!, which left Bejarano without a chance.
With the score, Junior took confidence and livened up the game with constant attacks. He looked for him by all means, but on the right he looked more comfortable with Pacheco, Fabián Sambueza and Carmelo Valencia.
At 63′, Carlos Bacca came close to scoring the winning goal, after a shot from mid-range that crashed into the vertical of the goalkeeper’s left hand.
Junior continues without losing in the League since Julio Comesaña arrived, but this Thursday he fell short. And Union, who came off a four-game losing streak, is excited to stay in A.
