Deportivo Pasto defeated América de Cali 3-1 this Thursday in the charges from the point after drawing 1-1 in the regulation time of the only match of the quarterfinals of the BetPlay Cup 2020, at the Libertad Stadium, from the capital of Nariño.
Goalkeeper José David Contreras was the great figure of the night when he conjured three executions of the two-time Colombian champion, showing great serenity against his rivals.
Camilo Ayala (1-0), Leonardo Aponte (2-1) and Yhormar Hurtado (3-1) were right for the Pastuso team, while Sebastián Herrera failed. Rafael Carrascal (1-1) did so for the eleventh scarlet, and they wasted Rodrigo Ureña (1-1, stopped Contreras), Felipe Jaramillo (1-1, covered Contreras in the middle) and Santiago Moreno (3-1, stopped Contreras ).
In the development of the commitment, the visiting team started better in attack, through possession of the ball, but Pasto regaining control and then worried the scarlet defense. Given this, the ‘devils’ located a line of four to avoid the passage of the skilled men of the tricolor cast.
In 6 minutes, Pasto’s own goal was almost produced, after the ball touched by Francisco Rodríguez hit the left vertical.
Ray Vanegas squandered the local’s best option in the 13th minute by shooting over the top, after a cross from Estéfano Arango from the right and a poor start overhead from Joel Graterol. Then Vanegas tried another shot, but Cristian Arrieta crossed him.
Then in the 28th minute a creeping free kick by Vanegas himself was missed over Graterol’s left post.
The Peruvian Marco Aldaír Rodríguez appeared in the 35th minute after receiving a pass from Luis Sánchez, but he finished badly. However, Santiago Moreno teamed up with Rodríguez and as he entered the area he tapped the ball in front of Venezuelan José Contreras to make it 0-1 in the 36th minute.
At 45, a corner kick from the left by Arango allowed Francisco Rodríguez to overtake Felipe Jaramillo and with the right parietal he headed to beat Graterol and score 1-1.
The second half favored the host team, who had better approaches, but did not take advantage of them, especially with Ray Vanegas, the clearest at 28 minutes.
At 37, Daniel Quiñones left the ball to Carlos Cortés Barreiro and Venezuelan Conteras saved his team.
Cortés Barreiro was sent off at 42 minutes for a foul on Leonardo Aponte when he was already yellow, leaving the Valle del Cauca team with ten men.
Coach Diego Corredor made the necessary variations to avoid charges from the penalty spot, but the minutes were used up and it was not possible.
America will face the winner of the key between Tolima and Nacional (postponed game) to settle the second semifinalist. For their part, Medellín and Quindío are already seeded in the key that will choose the other semifinalist.
