Unlike the arguments shown in Barranquilla, which reported a 2-1 victory over Junior in the first leg of the Super League, América de Cali could not revalidate this Friday at home and ended up empty-handed.
All things being equal, the Valle del Cauca cast could not have the clarity they needed in Pascual Guerrero, it became cloudy and was far from the performance that was required, especially to go with good motivation next Wednesday to their Copa Libertadores Porto Alegre match against International, a rival that is doing very well and is the leader of the Brazilian Championship.
You should call coach Juan Cruz Real to reflection that no line worked this Friday. Passivity in defense, an unproductive midfield and a rickety attack that could not hurt an immense Sebastián Viera, both to save and to start the play of the second goal.
Although the lack of an area striker is still evident, the truth is that against Junior the team also suffered from a game generator. That player never showed up.
Here is the analysis of FUTBOLRED about the performance of the red cast.
Slowness in the back quartet: In Junior’s two goal plays the scarlet defense was very badly stopped. In the first they waited for the referee Edilson Ariza to declare the action invalid when Miguel Borja’s ball crossed the last line, but the whistle never sounded and they had no reaction, starting with side Daniel Quiñones, who was easily overcome by Freddy Hinestroza, who appeared in an incredibly empty space.
The same happened in both Carmelo Valencia, because the Chocoano striker arrived alone after the qualification of ‘Teo’ Gutiérrez to face Éder Chaux and tap the ball.
His core sector did not work: Junior controlled well with Didier Delgado and Freddy Hinestroza a key man in the red scheme as Rafael Carrascal. They did not allow him to take his team out and with this they marked numerical superiority, to the point that the ball reached very little to the offensive part.
Luis Paz and Carlos Sierra were not lucky in their presentation either, because the visitor recovered well with Didier Moreno, while Luis González and Freddy Hinestroza had a lot of freedom.
Little presence in attack: After this game there was increased concern about the lack of a center forward who would give a greater presence in the area, because Adrián Ramos got used to playing pivot with Michael Rangel and still has not regained his confidence as the only attacker.
Variants were not noticed: As he did in Barranquilla, Juan Cruz Real tried to give his team a boost, but this time he did not succeed. Of the men who entered only the youthful Santiago Moreno gave him mobility and mischief, although the ball did not enter Viera’s goal.
