The start of Deportivo Cali against Once Caldas in Manizales foreshadowed that the Valle del Cauca team was going to pass over its rival, which in the previous one announced several positive cases for covid-19. And he had to employ six substitutes.
The court was wet for both, but due to offensive intent, Alfredo Arias’s team was clearer in the first half. He approached with shots to the goal and apart he took the advantage with a beautiful goal from Jhon Vásquez after a collective play in which Deiber Caicedo and Ángelo Rodríguez participated.
There was also annoyance with the referee John Ospina for the penalty he gave to the Eleven in an action in which it is claimed that Hernán Lessse did not intend to foul David Lemos, and that it meant the equalizer, through Dayro Brown.
In summary, it was a match with many interruptions generated by having to go to review the VAR, including actions that were handled by Quindiano judge Ospina.
This is how FUTBOLRED saw the performance of the Verdiblanco team, which with 31 points and a goal difference of +9 has almost ready its place in the quarterfinals. Another unit will definitely secure it:
‘San David’ González avoided a defeat at Palogrande: Last Wednesday the Antioquia goalkeeper was upset because at the press conference they asked him if he was happy for being the architect of the classification to the second round by stopping two charges from the penalty spot to Millonarios, but this Sunday he will not be able to deny that he avoided the victory for Once Caldas in at least two shots that bore a goal stamp.
The moment of the Paisa goalkeeper is great, and he has even been very attentive to correct the deficiencies that his defensive quartet still presents, something that Alfredo Arias is very clear about.
Agustín de Palavecino’s absence weighed: Cali has two dates without winning, in which he could not count on his brain and scorer. He lost at home to Tolima and drew 1-1 with the alternate formation of Once this Sunday. Hence, Alfredo Arias had kept him in the headline even when he had a sanction date, taking advantage of the fact that Andrés Arroyo was in the Colombia Under 20 National Team.
He lost control of the match: Once Caldas made three changes that gave him greater depth, especially in the complementary time, while Cali was diminished, it is not known if because of the heavy court or because of the obvious reaction of the white team.
He did not take advantage of the inexperience of several white players: Except Palavecino, Cali presented the type formation that already has one foot in the quarterfinals, while Joaquín ´Paco ‘Castro had to make a’ patch ‘to replace five starters, something that was not capitalized by the’ sugar ‘box .
Again he failed to define: With so many attack variants, which generate several arrivals, it is incredible that Cali wasted so many opportunities to score. This Sunday he forgave again, despite having players like Ángelo Rodríguez, Jhon Vásquez, Deiber Caicedo and Kevin Velasco. To this is added that until now the free kick formula is not a plus to win games.
On the next day, Cali will receive Envigado on Wednesday, November 11 (2:00 pm), with the intention of getting three points that will put him back in the upper part.
