Deportivo Cali made a big jump in the League standings and moved away from the relegation zone with a fundamental victory as a visitor, this Friday, at the home of Deportivo Pasto.
A goal from Juan José Córdoba, the championship's top scorer with five goals, was enough to give victory to those led by Jaime de la Pava and leave their rival in trouble.
For their part, Fortaleza and Boyacá Chicó tied at one goal in the first game of Friday's schedule, a result that was not enough for the local team to get into the qualifying zone.
The one that continues to sink in the table is Envigado, which lost 2-0 against Águilas Doradas, which appealed to an alternate team for its participation in the Copa Libertadores. The oranges are complicated in the relegation table.
America, in serious trouble
On Thursday, América deepened its crisis in the League by losing 0-1 against La Equidad in a match on the eighth day of the tournament that Deportes Tolima leads with 17 points.
The Scarlets, led by Venezuelan César Farías, in addition to losing the three points, also suffered the expulsion of Jáder Quiñones and Yojan Garcés, for repeated fouls against their opponents.
The visitor was able to do the task better because América de Cali lacked ideas and a game pattern that would allow them to trouble La Equidad, who scored through Kevin Viveros.
In eight outings, América de Cali has lost to Millonarios, Deportes Tolima, Águilas Doradas and against La Equidad. They tied with Envigado, Atlético Bucaramanga and beat Atlético Nacional and Patriotas. Now the Red Devils occupy fifteenth place with eight points, nine behind the leader Deportes Tolima. La Equidad was left with 14 integers.
On the other hand, Independiente Santa Fe, which has the Uruguayan Pablo Peirano on the bench, defeated Junior, 3-0, with goals from the Uruguayan Agustín Rodríguez and the Colombians Julián Camilo Millán and Francisco Chaverra.
Meanwhile, Atlético Bucaramanga took a point from their visit to the leader Deportes Tolima with whom they tied 0-0. And finally, Deportivo Pereira beat Once Caldas as a visitor, 1-2, completing five wins and now trailing Deportes Tolima with 16 points. In that match, Dayro Moreno scored his 222nd goal in the League and was two away from equaling Sergio Galván's record.
