Millonarios gave dignity to its closing campaign and left Junior de Barranquilla without an end this Sunday, with a 2-0 victory that left Alberto Gamero’s team in second place in quadrangular A.
Alberto Gamero’s team tried to close the campaign with decorum and began to attack Junior, who wanted to hold on in his field and save air. It didn’t generate many options in the first half and the game was quite flat.
Another thing was the second half, when Millonarios hit a blow that ended up being lethal. Mackalister Silva made a change of front and Daniel Ruiz invented a game, with a hook and shot on goal. Santiago Mele stopped halfway and rebounded, the ball hit Jermein Peña and went into the visitors’ goal: 1-0 after four minutes.
Millonarios was able to keep going, but it was only enough for a second goal, 13 minutes into the second half, on another rebound from Mele who, this time, fell into enemy legs, those of Juan Carlos Pereira, who finished at will to increase the lead. advantage in El Campín, in front of more than 14,000 spectators who protested against their team with banners for the campaign, but who still celebrated the goals.
Millonarios is getting ready to rethink many things, in a semester in which he wanted to go for everything but his weak level, injuries and lack of definition left him empty-handed.
