Independiente Santa Fe has one week to prepare for its second leg of the League semi-final against La Equidad, which it will face this Saturday, December 12 in El Campín. The series is 1-1, as the cardinal drew a draw at the Techo stadium, but will have the great absence of Fabián Sambueza, sent off by referee Bismark Santiago’s decision, after reviewing in the VAR.
Without a doubt it will be a sensitive loss for the cardinal, since the ‘Chino’ has been very important for the attack and was in a great moment. It will be 90 minutes without him against a difficult insurance team. And, as coach Harold Rivera said, the great mission of the last practices will be to find the ideal replacement for the Argentine.
However, Daniel Giraldo, front-line midfielder for the red-and-white team, had a resounding response when asked how much Sambueza’s absence will weigh.
“We have shown that there is no dependence on any player, but rather that it is more teamwork, more functioning. Although we know that it is very important to us, but the ‘teacher’ will find the ideal person to fill it. You have to go out with the mentality of winning and that we don’t depend on a player, “Giraldo told ‘Espn Nexo’.
“Favoritism takes a backseat in these instances. All teams have the same illusion; Although Santa Fe has had a very even performance, the idea is to go out and win this game and be in the final, “Giraldo commented on the key against Equidad.
