Cali America He had a weak presentation this Sunday in the first leg in the 2020 League semifinals and must win in Barranquilla next Sunday to contest the title of the contest again.
This time, with the early injuries of Teófilo Gutiérrez Y Luis ‘Cariaco’ González, Junior lost two key men in his attacking idea, but the team led by Juan Cruz Real He was unable to take advantage of those casualties and ended up playing whatever came out. With this, there are already four online commitments in which the ‘devils’ cannot get the three points in their stadium.
Despite the fact that the series continues open with the honors division, pessimism returned to the scarlet fans, because they do not really know what the moment of the Colombian champion is, who offered a very different panorama from the match against Nacional in Medellín, which allowed him the qualification to the semifinal.

The squad knew they had to win to be sure in the Copa Libertadores next year, but it was impotent, so now the obligation is transferred to Barranquilla, where Cristian Arrieta and Duván Vergara will not be due to accumulation of yellow cards.
Here are the reasons for the red tie at Pascual Guerrero:
Totally confused: Although he had the obligation to go out to propose at home, the scarlet box was not clear and much less forceful to subdue Junior, who even in the average of the second half was mounted in the game and scared the scarlet defense.

Low individual contributions: Yesus Cabrera and Santiago Moreno were the only ones trying to put together an offensive game, while Duván Vergara and Adrián Ramos were very far from their usual level and thus no more could be expected from the red attack.
Little generation of football: America does not have a natural ’10’, it seems that Luis Sánchez wants to assume the role, but he falls short, and another well-managed player like Yesus Cabrera has been used lately as an inside midfielder, to help Luis Alejandro Paz.
Low offensive weight: Controlled Vergara and Ramos, there was not much more to see in the local proposal, which could barely come through a shot by Luis Sánchez that Sebastián Viera saved above the horizontal and in an action that Santiago Moreno could not solve before the goalkeeper Uruguayan.

The changes offered no response: Jhon Arias and Émerson Batalla entered the complementary part and their presence did not serve to give a new face to their team. Definitely, the options in the substitution are few for the Argentine coach.
