Unión La Calera lost to Junior in Barranquila, by a tight score of 2-1, and was left with the need to win in the rematch next week at “Nicolás Chahuán”, although a 1-0 in favor will suffice.
The “Cementeros” did not have a good first half. They were dominated at all times by the locals and Had it not been for goalkeeper Alexis Martín Arias, they would have suffered several goals against.
However, the Caleranos could not endure at least until halftime and suffered the first blow in the 44th minute, with a great shot from Edwuin Cetre, which overcame Martín’s resistance.
In the second half, La Calera reacted and was able to reach a draw with a goal from Thomas Rodríguez, which was annulled in the first instance due to an advance position and after five minutes validated by the VAR (65 ‘).
But, it was evident that Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s squad went to look for a tie, since after a few minutes, with good scoring chances, he backed down again and ended up paying dearly, since the cast of Barranquilla sentenced the meeting with a conquest of Miguel Borja, irremovable for the nationals.
Now, the cast of cement must prepare for the return next Wednesday, with the mission of continuing to make history and seek the passage to the quarterfinals of the contest.
