Miguel Ángel Borja had advanced the Barranquilla team, while Gabriel Fuentes, against, and Duván Vergara, scored the goals for the scarlet team.
Junior went up on the scoreboard after 4 minutes of play, when Miguel Ángel Borja took the penalty kick, which the central Andrés Rojas whistled for a foul committed by goalkeeper Eder Chaux a minute before, when the Cordoba eluded him within the area.
With the goal against, America raised the lines and went in search of the equalizer. Junior was trying to wait and counter, but did not have the players to do it, perhaps due to a lack of rhythm. On the other hand, the Valle del Cauca team seized the ball, but it was not effective in the area.
America had the chance to draw, when Didier Moreno took advantage of a poor delivery from midfielder to defender Germán Mera, who was forced to knock down Adrián Ramos in the area, the center-back sanctioned the penalty kick and sent off the Junior defender. The person in charge of collecting was Adrián Ramos himself, but his shot was blocked by goalkeeper Sebastián Viera.
The scarlet team seized the ball, but it was not clear when they stepped on the large area of the goal defended by Viera. At the end of that first half, he had two shots that passed near the goal. The first with Duván Vergara and the second with John Arias, but both passed near the verticals.
For the second half, Yesus Cabrera entered America for Daniel Quiñones, seeking to have more talented men on the attack front, which he achieved at times, but it was Junior, who despite having ten players from the first half, created a dangerous move, with a shot from Leonardo Pico, which ended up in the hands of goalkeeper Eder Chaux.
Junior ripped with two changes. Jesús David Murillo entered by Teófilo Gutiérrez and Edwuin Cetré by Miguel Ángel Borja. With these players, coach Julio Comesaña was looking for speed in the attack, but they didn’t work.
On the other hand, the modifications made by Juan Cruz Real did give him results. At 80 minutes, America got the tie, when Yesus Cabrera raided on the right, scored a cross and the ball was deflected by defender Gabriel Fuentes and into his own goal.
At 82 minutes, America took advantage of the moment of shock in which Junior was, to score the goal that would give him the victory. This time it was Duván Vergara who made an individual move, shot the goal, which got between the post covered by goalkeeper Viera and defender Willer Ditta to put the final 1-2.
At the end of the game, Adrián Ramos had the 3-1, but his shot passed over the goal, when he had it at his disposal, because the goalkeeper and the Junior defenders were played.
America’s victory was deserved at the Romelio Martínez stadium, because it was superior to Junior in all areas. He will have to improve a lot on Friday if he wants to continue being the Super League champion.
