América de Cali and Atlético Junior will meet in the semifinal of the 2020 BetPlay League, after defeating Atlético Nacional and Deportes Tolima respectively.
In this year, scarlets and sharks faced each other three times; two of them in the round trip of the Super League that Junior won with a 3-2 aggregate, and a last one in the ‘all against all’ phase that ended with a 1-1 draw. Now, these two historical FPC will face each other in the semifinal bracket of the League that will begin in the Pascual Guerrero and end in the Metropolitan of Barranquilla.
Virtues of America
American experience: The scarlet box improved its attack capacity and against Nacional, at Atanasio Girardot, it took an advantage that determined the fate of the series. Adrián Ramos and Duván Vergara as banners, they beat men of experience in purslane who were not up to the task.
Forcefulness: America in the second leg of the quarterfinals made five shots on goal, of which three finished at the back of the net. What makes it a highly effective team in game development.
Good job on the visit: In the all against all, the scarlet team obtained a victory and five draws as visitors, and in the quarterfinals there was a remarkable work of the Valle del Cauca, who since 2009 had not won at the Atanasio and in this final instance were able to settle that promissory note.

Consolidated team: With the passing of the games, the Barranquilla team was consolidating its idea of the game, the tight schedule left Amaranto Perea a great challenge to find the operation of the squad and little by little it has been achieving it. In the last two games (first leg of the Suramericana round of 16 and second leg of the League quarterfinals), a team with a game idea was seen in two different contexts.
Goal scorer: In the key to the quarterfinals of the League, Miguel Ángel Borja was the main protagonist of the series. The 27-year-old attacker scored the two goals with which Junior defeated Tolima on aggregate, thus reaching 13 goals in the championship. So far he is the top scorer in the competition.
