Deportivo Cali was surprisingly eliminated this Wednesday in the round of 16 of the 2020 BetPlay Cup at the hands of Deportes Quindío, after drawing 1-1 in regulation time and losing 5-4 in the penalty shoot-out, in a single match developed in the Centenario stadium, of Armenia.
The goalkeeper Arled Cadavid was the hero of the afternoon, not only did he convert the fifth execution of his team, he saved the shot from the last sugar player, Carlos Lucumí.
Yeison Carabalí, Alexis Serna, Mateo Garavito, Jaider Riquett and Cadavid scored for Quindío, while Jhojan Valencia, Hárold Gómez, Kevin Velasco and Kevin Moreno scored for Cali
Diber Cambindo put the local ahead 19 minutes into the first half after taking advantage of an error in the ‘sugar’ start, avoiding Johan Wallens on the right and almost falling to put the ball at the base of the left post.
But then the arrivals to the porticoes were scarce by both teams. Cali was wrong to always try with aerial balls in front of a slender and very well stopped Quindian defense.
Thinking about the quarterfinals of the League and the South American Cup, Alfredo Arias preferred to take an alternate formation, but neither Carlos Lizarazo, Jean Paul Arce nor Jesús Arrieta contributed anything to benefit the Verdiblanca offensive. Better the second than the first half for the Valle del Cauca team, thanks to the entry of Jhojan Valencia by Juan Daniel Roa and José Mulato by Lizarazo, shot by the right wing, but he did not have precision in the shots from outside the area.
With great courage and order, the team led by Óscar Héctor Quintabani maintained control of the actions and it was thought that the score would end like this.
However, a penalty taken by Harold Gómez, whose initial charge was rebounded by Arled Cadavid, gave the Valle del Cauca team a tie in the 90th minute. Then, the lottery for the charges favored the host team, which gave the surprise of the date. He will wait for the winner of Alianza Petrolera vs Millonarios.
