First half summary
The state of the field, very flooded due to the rain before the game, affected the processing of the first 45 minutes. Even so, Once Caldas and América have provided a good show.
First it was America who took advantage of the neglect of their rival. With a game on the wings started by Santiago Moreno, he filtered the ball for Yesus Cabrera, who sent the death pass and Jeison Lucumí entered only from the far post to score the first goal of the game.
With intensity and taking advantage of the large space by the bands, the visit continued to lock up the premises and generate danger options. The Paraguayan goalkeeper, Gerardo Ortíz, was the great figure in the first half with several very good interventions to save his goal from a new fall.
Due to the freedoms that the Manizales team gave, the midfielders of the red squad relaxed and began to leave many spaces in defense. In this way, the two local forwards played hand in hand with the centrals, or found spaces on the wings to make Joel Graterol uncomfortable.
On a perfectly executed corner kick by Harrison Otalvaro, Yoiver González prevailed overhead and sent the ball to the back of the net to tie the game.
The game had no filter in the middle of the field and it was a game of give and take. América was more incisive, but Ortíz was largely responsible for everything ending up even in the first 45 minutes.
