Deportes Tolima, champion of Liga I in 2001, and Deportivo Calithe champion of League II, last December, define this Wednesday the first official trophy of the year in Colombian football, in the second leg of the Super League, when they face each other from 8 pm at the Manuel Murillo Toro stadium , from Ibagué (Win Sports+ TV), incidentally reissuing the League II final that Cali beat Tolima (1-2), for which he made the Olympic return on that stage, the tenth star in his history.
For this reason, in some way, this is an option of ‘revenge’, of revenge for Tolima, which achieved a draw (1-1) in the first leg at the Palmaseca stadium.

Tolima, in addition, is the solid leader of the local League, after the first eight dates of competition. Last Sunday they tied without goals against La Equidad, in Bogotá, which left them with 18 points.
Meanwhile, Cali is the surprising last with just six games lost and one tied, this last Sunday at home against Alianza Petrolera 1-1, due to a rude mistake by their goalkeeper, Guillermo de Amores.
In his defense – and in his own defense against criticism from the press – coach Dudamel said: “I chose the footballers, and I am going to die with them, I am going to the end with them.
Don’t waste time on who’s on the tightrope. With my feet forward they are going to take me out. I’m going with them to the death.” There will be a champion…
