America and Junior will define this Friday the champion of the Super league. They play in the Pascual Guerrero the second leg of the final, with an advantage for the scarlet team, which won 1-2 in the first match in Barranquilla, last Tuesday.
That home advantage gives America a certain favoritism, which also left a pleasant impression in what was the premiere of coach Juan Cruz. It was a solid and aggressive team. To get the title, the strategist, who replaced the Brazilian Alexandre Guimaraes in the position, will have outstanding players such as the experienced forward Adrián Ramos, who missed a penalty in the first leg, and the winger Duván Vergara, figure in that duel. In addition, it will have the trident of the midfield made up of Luis Paz, Carlos Sierra and Rafael Carrascal.

“The running of the games makes a team have filming and things get better; but to be the first game, I am very happy for the dedication and the predisposition to try to be the protagonists of the game ”, said the scarlet coach on Tuesday, satisfied with what was shown by his managers.
However, he collides with a Junior who hopes to show his best face today to overcome the score. The Colombian-Uruguayan coach Julio Comesaña considered that Tuesday’s defeat was marked by the expulsion of his defender Mera, so he hopes that tonight, with a more concentrated squad, he can look for the goals he needs, for that he has luxury players like Miguel Borja, toAuthor of the goal in Barranquilla, from a penalty, Teo Gutiérrez and Carmelo Valencia.
“There were players with great effort, they did well, with normal muscle fatigue, but we have fresh players to alternate, we go well prepared to Cali,” said Comesaña.
Willer Ditta could be the replacement for the suspended Mera, although he could play if the coach decides, since Junior has Fabián Ángel in the Colombian Under-20 National Team.
