Deportivo Cali did not have a good game in the playoffs that delivered the last ticket to the South American Cup, almost a month after having made its last presentation in the 2020 continental competition.
The first half did not favor him against a rival who, like Millonarios, took the ball from him and hurt him on the left wing, to the point of going ahead with a beautiful free kick by Juan Camilo Salazar. However, the change in strategy of the assistant Ítalo Cervino was important to change the panorama and through a shot from Agustín Palavecino he found the tie to force the charges from the penalty spot, in which the young goalkeeper Humberto Acevedo stood out by stopping the shot of Diego Abadía and give his team the last ticket to the South American next year.
These were the positive aspects that marked the game for the sugar team ‘:
Glorious debut for Humberto Acevedo: The 23-year-old goalkeeper made his professional debut in a great way in a match that was not easy, taking the place of Johan Wallens, who, as second on the list, seemed to have the confidence of Alfredo Arias.
But it was he who was the starter and from 90 minutes of regulation time he showed his good condition, responding to the confidence of the coaching staff with three key saves, and then in the definition he prevented Diego Abadía from matching the charges to continue with the executions.
Ítalo Cervino’s move in the second half: The departure at the end of the first half of the right-back Harold Gómez and the presence of Roger Andretty Murillo had a more offensive intention and it paid off, because apart from moving other players out of position and Cali balanced the game, taking the limelight away from the Albiazul cast.
For this reason, in the complementary stage the best offensive actions were taken by the local to make goalkeeper Juan Moreno a figure, who confirmed that it is a reality.
Effectiveness of collections from the white point: While Millonarios wasted two collections, one above the horizontal by Felipe Román and already mentioned by Abadía, Cali was effective through Jhon Vásquez, Jhojan Valencia, Darwin Andrade and Agustin Palavecino. The fifth execution was not necessary.
