A great performance by goalkeeper José Luis Chunga and the lack of precision left Atlético Nacional empty-handed this Friday, in the match against Alianza Petrolera. For the first time in history, those from Barrancabermeja took a point from Atanasio Girardot, after eight defeats. The game ended 0-0.
Friday night invited a good game, Atlético Nacional tried by all means in the initial stage, but could not go up on the scoreboard. About minute 2, a shot by Dorlan Pabón went near the post of goalkeeper Luis Chunga’s left hand. The purslane from early on went out to seek victory.

National tried it by all means
In the 12th minute, a collective play by Nacional almost ended in a goal, but Chunga once again became a figure against Yeison Guzmán’s heads-up, who finished off the visiting goal twice. Four minutes later, Dorlan Pabón from the left assisted Álvaro Angulo, but the former Golden Eagles did not define with force and after a hitch, he easily handed the ball to goalkeeper José Luis Chunga.
At 29 minutes, Sebastián Gómez from mid-distance disturbed Luis Chunga again, but the Alianza Petrolera goalkeeper contained the purslane midfielder’s shot. A minute later, Dorlan Pabón shot from the right sector, but the ball went near the post of Chunga’s right hand.
At minute 39, Nacional approached the opposite goal again, this time with a shot by Jefferson Duque that hit Yeison Guzmán on the back. In the end, the greens had two more chances but between the defense, the bad aim and an inspired Chunga, they did not achieve the objective.
The second half was not very different: Nacional could not find the formula to arrive and Alianza continued to hold on in their field.
In minute 13, Nacional made the first change, entering Jarlan Barrera instead of Yeison Guzmán. At minute 15, Dorlan Pabón from mid-distance demanded goalkeeper Chunga.

Alianza attacked little and Nacional remained unspecified
Alianza Petrolera took 77 minutes to create his first chance with a filtered pass that Bryan Fernández failed to make.
At 35, Giovanni Moreno had the goal through a free kick that passed very close to the left corner of the south goal. About the 38th minute, Andrés Andrade with his right foot scored the goal, but the ball went over Chunga’s goal.
In the end, Alianza Petrolera won a golden point in their visit to Medellin, they confused Nacional and defended themselves well. The purslane were not precise and continue to lose ground in the Atanasio.
On the next date, Atlético Nacional visits Envigado next Tuesday in Itagüí. While Alianza Petrolera receives Cortuluá in Barrancabermeja.
