The all-against-all phase of the 2020 BetPlay League is coming to an end and with 15 dates disputed, Deportes Tolima remains the leader of the general and is emerging as one of the candidates for the title of the season. Deportivo Pasto continues to surprise and is second.
The pijao team tied in their visit to Jaguares de Córdoba, the volcanic team prevailed over an Independiente Medellín that does not raise its head, while Millonarios won again and clings to the dream of qualifying.
On the other hand, Junior defeated Deportivo Pereira, Nacional and América played a good match at Atanasio Girardot; and Deportivo Cali prevailed in a very controversial match over Independiente Santa Fe.
Here at FUTBOLRED we review the good, the bad and the ugly that a new day of Colombian professional football left behind.
The good
Deportes Tolima continues as the leader of the BetPlay League with 31 points. The team led by Hernán Torres drew 1-1 with Jaguares de Córdoba and is emerging as one of the strong candidates for the title.
Deportivo Pasto continues on a roll and remains in the second box of the League after beating Independiente Medellín 2-1. Great season of those directed by Diego Corredor.
Deportivo Cali defeated Independiente Santa Fe 3-2 at Palmaseca in a game surrounded by controversy due to referee decisions by referee Éder Vergara. Alfredo Arias’s team remains undefeated in the tournament.
Millonarios won again and adds 17 points in the general. Those of Alberto Gamero defeated Patriotas 1-0 and dream of a place among the eight.
Junior won 0-2 in his visit to Deportivo Pereira and breathed in the BetPlay League. Those of Amaranto Perea are eighth with 22 points.
Atlético Nacional and América de Cali, a historic match for Colombian football, staged an exciting 2-2 at Atanasio Girardot.
The bad
Once Caldas tied again and continues to compromise his place in the lot of eights. Manizales’ white team drew 1-1 with Boyacá Chicó.
Patriotas and Atlético Bucaramanga lost again in the League and did not raise their heads in the tournament. The same situation as Independiente Medellín that does not find its way this season. Alianza Petrolera is still in crisis and lost again.
The ugly
Éder Vergara’s arbitration in the match between Cali and Santa Fe. The referee, without using the VAR correctly, pointed out a dubious penalty in favor of Santa Fe, did not whistle Deportivo Cali for a hand in the area, and took out a yellow card hasty, which later influenced the expulsion of Jhon Velásquez. In addition, he also called a penalty in favor of the sugar box, which for many continues to generate doubts. To this must be added the poor condition of the Palmaseca grass: a disaster.
