Santa Fe remains confident in being able to turn the final around against Atlético Bucaramanga, despite having lost the first leg on Saturday (1-0). And for this, it hopes to have its complete ‘foreign navy’. Marcelo Ortiz, Facundo Agüero and Agustín Rodríguez have been important in a campaign in which they arrived without making much noise.

In Bogotá he has gone from less to more, with doubts at the beginning, but with great performance in recent times, in which he even scored a couple of key goals in the semi-final home runs, against Equidad and Tolima. He has appeared in 23 games.
“Without a doubt, we believe in ourselves. One game is not going to change the mentality or the confidence we had, especially playing at home and finishing at home. I’m telling you, it was a difficult game where it was defined by the details, they found the difference that they took to Bogotá, but now they are going to have to put up with us at home,” Ortiz declared after the defeat in the first leg.
Facundo Agüero, ‘between cottons’ hopes to reach the final
He debuted at Instituto de Córdoba, where he played six seasons. From there he went on to have his first international experience, in La Serena in Chile, where he played for two years. He returned to his country, to Unión de Santa Fe, and then he was in Rosario Central, where he was an alternative.
An injury to the hamstring in his left leg prevented him from participating in the first final. He was injured in the game against Tolima and his tears when he left the field moved the Santa Fe fans. Now the doctors are working at full speed to make him available on Saturday.
Agustín Rodríguez, from less to more in Santa Fe
When he signed for Santa Fe, Rodríguez was excited: “He has many things that catch your attention and the coach’s call, they were going to put together a good team, when I arrived I noticed it. I hope things go well for us and who knows, at the end of the year we will be celebrating,” the Uruguayan told El VBar Caracol.
With four goals in 18 games, Rodríguez changed initial doubts for the hope of a crown. They will have to win by two goals on Saturday to achieve it.
