The cardinal box came back and won 2-1 in Cali after balancing the balance in the second half. The return match will be on October 20.
What is Santa Fe doing there? As only one tournament was played for the pandemic in 2020, Santa Fe, a rival that lost the title to the Scarlets, earned that right. And he is not wasting it.
First of all, the usual: Juan Carlos Osorio faced this meeting following his first commandment of the rotation and did not go out with the bulk of his main men. But the dominance of the first half, with high pressure, was very high. Santa Fe didn't make a single shot.
The account was opened by Carlos Sierra at 26 minutes with a header after a great battle center. The double 5 that Sierra led with Rodrigo Ureña was the fortress of the scarlets. Santa Fe lined up a line of three in the midfield with Alexander Mejía, Juan Sebastián Pedroza, Carlos Sánchez, who looked very far from his best version with many errors of execution and intensity.
For the second half, Santa Fe was able to hold the ball and found the football that he did not find in the first 45 minutes. Thus came the tie of Jhon Velásquez at 55 minutes after a qualification of Ronaldo Dinolis.
And when the tables were a gain for Santa Fe, the Bogota citizens found America's line of three in a bad way and Jorge Ramos made it 2-1 at the Pascual Guerrero stadium. A painful defeat for Juan Carlos Osorio, especially after the superiority of the first half. He could not sustain the match.
“We showed that we are a team with hierarchy and we were able to improve. In the second half we improved the pressure we were doing and that helped us a lot, ”said Jhon Velásquez after the match.
The return will be on October 20 at the El Campín Stadium. Santa Fe took a big step to take its fourth Superliga title and save a semester for oblivion. Juan Carlos Osorio continues to walk on fire.
