In a game that dominated in a large percentage, but lacked its experience, América de Cali drew 1-1 against Envigado this Wednesday at the Polideportivo Sur de Envigado, on the twelfth date of the 2020 BetPlay League.
The current champion could count on the goalkeeper Éder Chaux, after the Colombian Football Federation allowed him to be in Antioquia and from there return to the concentration of the National Team in Barranquilla for the World Cup qualifying game in Qatar 2022 against Venezuela .
Better the first part than the second, especially more even, although it seems little because of what América de Cali had to impose with a team with a higher mileage, although it fell too much for the complementary stage due to inaccuracies in delivery and definition.
The first actions favored the local, thanks to the impetus of their youth, but very soon the red box balanced it thanks to the work of the duván Vergara-Adrián Ramos duo, becoming the owner of the ball. The Chilean acted in his natural midfielder position and surrendered, while Daniel Quiñones returned as a right back, for his part, Duván Vergara and Adrián Ramos got together well, revealing a better face of the scarlet cast, which in any case should review their behavior defensive.
An error by America at the start was the starting point for the orange goal. At minute 13, Sierra slipped in the middle of the court when he was going to receive a ball that John Arias returned to him, it was left to Yeison Guzmán, who made a feint to Juan Pablo Segovia and before Éder Chaux’s bilge he defined with a creeping touch on the right stick for 1-0.
Vergara, who in the first minutes tried to take away the dominance of the orange box, executed a free kick that passed by kissing the left vertical at the 19th minute. Then it was Arias who finished over the crossbar.
At 30, Vergara entered on the left, Santiago Jiménez knocked him down, referee Nicolás Rodríguez gave a penalty, but confirmed it after the VAR review, Ramos charged, goalkeeper Londoño went ahead and then leaned back to the right side to save the ball. In the repeat of the charge, Ramos switched to the left post and converted at half height at 33.
Edwin Velasco’s contribution was key to opening the court on the left, from there he put a center that failed to connect with power the youthful Émerson Batalla at 38. Arias tried to surprise Londoño from long distance and the ball went up .
For the second half, Juan Cruz Real included Santiago Moreno for Émerson Batalla in search of greater depth, outlining on the left in rotation with Vergara. Stuck on his rival’s ground, America played at pleasure opening spaces, but it was not forceful upstairs.
Envigado woke up from his lethargy and approached at 27 with Jean Lucas Rivera, only he did not measure the shot well. The later turned into bad decisions in the last plays, with a visitor who settled for the point. This result allows the red team to stay in the seventh box with 19 units, while the Antioquia team remains tenth with 16.
On date 13, América will host Patriotas on Sunday, October 11 (6:05 pm), although it asked Dimayor to postpone the game, and Envigado will visit Pereira on Saturday 10 (4:00 pm).
