Good win! América de Cali won and returned to the group of eight in the Colombian League

Without displaying a great game, América de Cali obtained a 3-1 victory against Rionegro Águilas on Sunday night that allowed them to return to the group of eight in the League.

The goals of Adrián Ramos, at minute 15, and Santiago Moreno, at minute 43, were enough to defeat a visitor who managed to discount at 60 minutes with a goal from Álvaro Angulo, but was sentenced at 76 with a defensive error that the American Jhon Arias took advantage.

From the outset, Juan Cruz Real bet on putting together an offensive tandem that would allow him to have the ball and take advantage of the bands. For that, he joined Adrián Ramos, Yesus Cabrera, Duván Vergara -who was returning- and Santiago Moreno in the starting team.

Soon that paid off. When ‘Adriancho’ took advantage of a great center from Velasco to open the header manual and beat Bejarano. At the end of the first half, the Moreno-Vergara partnership allowed the former to increase the advantage with a right hand that left the visiting goalkeeper without options.

For the second half, the visitor left with the intention of having the ball at his feet to generate some trouble for the locals. At 60, the visit was rewarded with a shot from Angulo, who took advantage of a rebound from a corner kick.

From there confidence was taken, but Cruz moved the bank to try to define the match with the income of Arias, Juan David Pérez and Émerson Batalla. In the end, it was a mistake by defender Hernández that Arias took advantage of to sentence the scarlet victory.

To visit Envigado, no longer Graterol
On the next date, those led by Juan Cruz Real must visit Envigado next Wednesday, which occupies the tenth position with 15 points, and without Joel Graterol, who will travel this Monday to join Barranquilla with the concentration of the Venezuelan National Team,

The oranges come from losing 3-2 to Atlético Nacional at Atanasio Girardot. Before, the Antioqueños had accumulated two consecutive wins, beating Patriotas (visit) and Junior (local). It will be the first duel of both teams in the year.
