Santa Fe He opted for a draw and left satisfied with the point he got this Saturday in Manizales. They drew 0-0 against Once Caldas and with that they continue their way at the top of group B, with 7 points. Santa Fe did not play to win or to be liked or to entertain, it played not to lose, and its strategy paid off.

Santa Fe did not despair, it did not take risks, it played to control its rival, to get the tie, which in its accounts suits it very well. Santa Fe did not accelerate to seek victory, if it succeeded, welcome, if it did not succeed, the motto was not to leave defeated.
Because of this proposal of defensive rigor, this Santa Fe did not look much like Santa Fe. It was not the sharp team with volume of attack and aggressiveness that beat Tolima and La Equidad. It was more of a team that worried about not conceding a goal. And the task came true.
Once Caldas did not decipher the formula to attack Santa Fe with real risk. Of course, he insisted with the centers to the area where he almost always appeared Dayro Moreno very alone Dayro had the best approximations, not options, because they didn’t turn out to be. A shot that went close, a deflected header… Caldas generated very little.

Santa Fe’s attack was cold. From time to time the ball reached Rodallega, but without the accompaniment to worry. He decided to get involved in the one he had the best and was left without a profile. He missed the best approach of it. When he came in Jersson González There was a little more space, but without creating real opportunities, without risks, without offensive emotions.
So it was not an attractive match. It was not an attractive match. Santa Fe defended the tie without risking and the formula worked. Once Caldas, the local team, had the need, but did not have offensive clarity. Their best collective play ended in a goal, but it was canceled due to Dayro’s offside.
The tie is very good for Santa Fe, because it reached 7 points. His plan now is to win at home on Thursday against the same rival. For now he continues to lead the group.
