In a poor presentation, Deportivo Cali lost 5-1 at home to Velez Sarsfield of Argentina and was left out of the South American Cup in the round of 16 phase.
In this way, the sugar producers closed their 2020 with a sad balance, because they were recently eliminated from the League and the Colombia Cup.
Those led by Alfredo Arias will only have to play on December 30 against the team that is the winner of the eliminated league of Colombian soccer to try to save the year by winning a place in the 2021 edition of the Suramericana.
The lack of definition and the serious defensive inattention condemned a Cali that throughout the season had left good feelings for his game.
A match to forget
The Verdiblancos appeared at this Tuesday night’s game with the difficult task of coming back from 2-0 against Velez in the first leg in Buenos Aires.
However, the illusion was extinguished very early, at 14 minutes, when an error in the start of defender Hernán Minusse caused the first goal of the visitors through a good definition of Lucas Janson against David González.
That score caused Cali to lose their temper and begin to fail even more defensively.
As a result of these neglects, Velez’s second goal came, at 34, again scored by Janson, who finished crossed and without a mark after a side pass from midfielder Mancuello.
Cali tried to react and before the end of the first half he discounted thanks to a beautiful goal from outside the area of the Argentine midfielder Agustín Palavecino.
However, in the complementary stage, the Argentines were solid against a green team without a compass and without any motivation.
Luis Abram, at 59 minutes, and Cristian Tarragona, at 79 and 88 scored the other three goals for the Buenos Aires squad, which ended up winning the series by a bulky score of 7-1.
Sugar producers will have to seriously rethink their project for 2021.
