Deportivo Cali and Santa Fe equaled 1-1 this Sunday in an intense match of the tenth date of the Betplay League I-2021, a contest that leads the Valle del Cauca team with 22 points, 2 more than Tolima and 4 above ‘León’ and Equity.
The most attractive duel of the day had different nuances, played in both areas, with dynamics, ardentia and the local goalkeeper, Guillermo De Amores, sent off in the 73rd minute for a foul on Jorge Ramos. Once again, the development of the commitment showed coach Jorge Arias that it is not productive for him to start with Ángelo Rodríguez and Marco Pérez together, because their spaces are not distributed well.
The intention of the capital team was to give a good gift to the fans on their 80th birthday, that’s why they attacked from the beginning and produced the best opportunities in the goal of Guillermo De Amores. At 4 minutes with Jorge Ramos on a left foot, and at 13 Kelvin Osorio could not define with power in the header and left the ball in the hands of the Uruguayan.
The prize for such insistence came at minute 16, after a Jorge Ramos cross the ball hit Darwin Andrade’s hand, outlined from behind. The referee Wílmar Roldán went to the VAR and whistled the penalty that Sherman Cárdenas charged to deceive the Uruguayan goalkeeper and get a minute later the 0-1 in favor of the ‘cardinals’.
Until then, Santa Fe was superior, taking control of the ball, with greater depth and the most dangerous approaches, pushed by an intelligent Sherman Cárdenas. But Cali vehemently began to level the actions, although again he exposed the lack of a thinking man in the middle of the field.
The one who tried to throw the team on his shoulder was Ángelo Rodríguez, retreating a few meters and leaving Marco Pérez alone in attack, but his characteristics are not those required for that function. Andrés Arroyo, on the other hand, still does not shine, despite receiving the confidence of the coaching staff.
Leandro Castellanos’ first shot on goal came in the 31st minute with a Jorge Arias free kick to the right and the visiting goalkeeper deflected to the corner kick.
Andrés Arroyo found himself with a ball that he preferred to throw at goal rather than associate and Castellanos had no problems keeping him, at 37.
At 43 minutes, Angelo arrived alone on the left after a pass from Vásquez and did not know what to do against the ‘cardinal’ rear. Cali had matched the actions, but he looked run over and bewildered by the application and order of the ‘León’, who wanted to organize his party in Palmaseca.
Arroyo appeared on the right at 45 and put the center where Marco Pérez was to push the ball to the bottom of the fence, but the referee Wílmar Roldán gave out of place and canceled the score without even going to the screen and supported the flag of his westerner’s assistant, Yinfar Bulla from there.
Santa Fe came out again determined to attack at the beginning of the complement. About 2 minutes he wove a beautiful collective play with Sherman, Arias, Arboleda that goes to the attack and Daniel Giraldo dispatched a right hand that hit the base of the right post, saving the local team. Jorge Arias slipped in the area when he had the round and Sherman did not manage to finish off the portico before the relief of Jhojan Valencia.
Alfredo Arias looked for solutions and one of them ordered the income of Andrés Colorado by Jhojan Valencia, Kevin Velasco by Darwin Andrade and Michell Ramos by Andrés Arroyo, at 9 minutes.
And the formula worked for him. At 17 minutes Harold Gómez executed a throw-in for his sector, the Santa Fe centrals went to the header and the rebound was taken by Andrés Colorado to convert the 1-1 with an internal edge already creeping to the red goal.
Coach Harold Rivera also moved his bench: Andrés Pérez for Nicolás Giraldo, John Velásquez for Sherman Cárdenas and Andrés Renteria for Kelvin Osorio (23 ST). Immediately, Jorge Ramos unbalanced on the left to face De Amores and the Verdiblanco goalkeeper fouled him on the entrance line to the area. The referee Roldán first took him a yellow card, although when he went to the VAR he decided to change it to a red one, leaving Cali with 10 men at 28.
Ángelo Rodríguez was the one sacrificed for the substitute goalkeeper, Humberto Acevedo, to enter at 29. Luis Manuel Seijas also did it for Jhon Arias at 32.
Andrés Balanta entered for Marco Pérez at 37 to take control of the ball from Santa Fe. At 41, Michell Ramos touched the ball deep on the right to Vásquez, but the Cartagena winger was ahead when he served the ball to Velasco and Roldán canceled the action.
However, the teams did not hurt each other and thus with a draw an emotional encounter between ‘sugar men’ and ‘cardinals’ was settled, who have everything to be protagonists in the next round.
