This is how the League goes: Millos won the classic, but Tolima is the leader

Game action in the classic.

There are two games left to complete date 17.

El Millonarios beat Santa Fe this Sunday 2-1 in the capital classic on date 17 of the Colombian soccer league, thanks to an own goal by “Los Leones” with which they reduced their chances of qualifying for the semi-final home runs .

Under a tenacious downpour, Argentina’s Martin Cardetti took the field ready to get the three points they needed to not complicate their classification and began to suffer in the 21st minute with a goal by Diego Herazo from the center of the area. “The Cardinals” managed to raise the tension by equalizing Neyder Moreno in the 64th minute, but they failed to win the classic after an error by white-haired defender Franciso Meza that conceded at his own goal.

Millonarios was thus placed again at the head of the table, with 35 points, after Atlético Nacional tied with Once Caldas (which is seventh with 25 points). However, Deporte Tolima defeated Alianza Petrolera, 0-2 and is the leader.

The rest of this Sunday’s matches ended with a draw between Jaguares de Córdoba and América de Cali, while Deportivo Cali lost 0-1 against Rionegro Águilas and Envigado managed to concede two goals to Deportivo Pereira, who could only mark one.

For its part, Independiente Medellín managed to play its cards well yesterday and take a juicy three points by beating Atlético Bucaramanga 3-2, which put them fourth in the table (with 30 points), followed by Envigado (with 27 points) and Junior (with 26 points).
