This is how the League goes: National, in a terrible semester, was eliminated; Positions table

TOThis Wednesday, tlético Nacional said goodbye to its chances of qualifying for the semi-finals of the League, in another performance to forget at the Atanasio Girardot stadium.

The team led by Pablo Repetto lost at home 0-1 against Deportivo Pereira and was left with just 20 points in the table, for now, five away from eighth place, which is occupied by Junior de Barranquilla.

The only goal of the match was scored by veteran Carlos Darwin Quintero, in the 45th minute, who finished in the heart of the green area after a clearance from Andrés Felipe Ibargüen.

Pereira had not beaten Nacional in Medellín for almost 16 years. His last victory had been on September 28, 2008, 0-1, with a goal from Uruguayan Leonardo Medina. Quintero also started in that game.

Leonel Álvarez's team reached 31 points and is virtually classified for the home runs. He reached the same score as Independiente Santa Fe, which practically secured its place among the eight by beating Once Caldas 0-1 in Manizales on Tuesday.

Also this Wednesday, Águilas Doradas achieved a victory that leaves them with a distant chance of fighting for a place among the eight. They beat Alianza 4-0 in Rionegro.

On Tuesday, Deportes Tolima reached first place in the table by beating Envigado 0-2. In addition, Jaguares and Deportivo Cali tied 1-1, a result that leaves both teams in a bad position in the relegation table.
