deportes Tolima definitively buried Equidad’s chances of reaching the grand final of the League, it passed over them and could even fall short with a devastating 3-0 which keeps David González’s team waiting for what Santa Fe does in the second hour, against Once Caldas.
Tolima reached seven points, the same as the reds, but with one more game, and depends on itself to reach the final: two victories would put him in the fight for the star against the winner of group A.
Equidad, which had had a good round-robin phase and even became the leader of the championship, deflated in the final part and reached its fifth loss in a row, four of them in home runs.
This is how Tolima remained in the fight to go to the final
At 44 minutes, Tolima increased the lead in a play with some good fortune for them and bad luck for the visitors: a shot by Kevin Pérez crashed against the post, hit goalkeeper Washington Ortega on the back and went into the goal . Uruguayan own goal.
Already Equidad was demoralized when a penalty action allowed Tolima to score a little more: Jaison Mina knocked down Kevin Pérez in the area, according to the concept of referee Alexander Ospina. The fault did not seem so clear. Yeison Guzmán, too, took advantage of the penalty and the score was already a rout.
González had the luxury of saving starters for Sunday’s game against Once Caldas, like Guzmán and Pérez, in the last 20 minutes of the match. And in the middle of that panorama, Ospina and the VAR, headed by Never Manjarrés, gave life to Equidad, with a very dubious penalty for a handball by Cristian Trujillo, in the 81st minute. Kevin Viveros sent it to the clouds.
