Millonarios was eliminated from the 2020 South American Cup after falling 5-4 in the penalty shootout against Deportivo Cali. Despite having fought to the end, an irresponsibility by Santiago Montoya weighed heavily on the Albiazul fall.
Those led by Alberto Gamero could not show all their football in Palmaseca, they suffered in a large part of the game and in the end they achieved equality from their own love. Therefore, at Futbolred we analyze the blue presentation in Cali.
Highlight
Combative spirit: Millionaire is the clear example of resilience. When football does not give and the situation is complicated, self-love pushes it. Asó happened on the night of this Wednesday. The people from the capital rowed in the last minutes, they never gave themselves up and at the end of the 90 minutes the prize arrived.
Juan Moreno: Two games were enough for the youth squad to take over the Albiazul goal. Against Nacional he fulfilled in the League and against Cali he was a great figure with a saved penalty included. The best news is that he is barely 21 years old, it is time to take him little by little, calmly and thus he can consolidate. It is on a very good path.
Gamero’s hand: In the last 15 minutes the game was split. Alberto Gamero understood it and decided to change the scheme (he put together a line of three, put Mackalister as the central midfielder, advanced the lines to the opposite field), refresh the bands and take the opposite goal. In the end, the 2-1 came through two highly criticized men: Juan Camilo Salazar and Eliser Quiñones.
Unexpected heroes: Salazar and Quiñones were, without a doubt, the saviors that nobody had in their plans. The first lost all the balls he touched upon entering and the second was imprecise. But precisely because of the team’s drive, Salazar ended up inventing a phenomenal play on the left that Eliser ultimately defined as a scorer.
To improve
Suffering for the bands: In the first half, mainly, Diego Godoy had no support on the left and Elvis Perlaza was completely inactive on the right. So much so, that the Paraguayan lost several duels, one ended in a goal, because he did not have that support that he usually has in Vega or Duque. In the end, he ended up being blown away by coming and going on a very heavy field.
Aerial game: Without a doubt, this was Millionaires’ biggest problem in the 180 minutes. He lost almost all the duels from above and the three goals he received were in this way, two in a moving play and another by still ball. Hernán Lessse was the black beast of the ambassador club.
Game generation: The blues fought, that cannot be taken away from them and it must be valued, but in a few periods of the match they were associated. Cali managed to disconnect the Duque-Vega couple and thus annulled the team’s departure. Mackalister had little influence, the ball never came clean to Del Valle and Arango, and the only clear ones came from individualities, Emerson Rodríguez as a fundamental piece, or still ball, the first goal.
Montoya’s Irresponsibility: The creative did not contribute much since he entered at 78 minutes. He touched her a few times. Later, when he had the opportunity to leave Cali dying in the penalty shootout, he released a weak and bland shot that David González saved.
