While National Athletic ended the day on Saturday as leader of the League after beating 0-2 millionaires in El Campin, Junior from Barranquilla shook off the defeat against the greens last week and beat La Equidad 1-0 at the Roberto Meléndez stadium.
The only goal of the game was scored by Gabriel Fuentes, at 23 minutes, when he scored a penalty after a handball by Pablo Sabbag in the La Equidad area that was reviewed by the VAR.
