On matchday 12 of Colombian football, Atlético Junior received Deportivo Pasto at Romelio Martínez, the Barranquilleros had to win to avoid shocks in the general classification.
The first half had very few goal options. As expected, Junior imposed conditions constantly looking for the scorer Miguel Ángel Borja on his return.
The clearest ones were precisely the work of the visiting group. At the beginning of the engagement, Ray Vanegas took advantage of an error in defense, gained in speed and with a shot at grass level almost opened the scoring. Moments later Jeison Medina commanded a counter, but entering the area he wanted to assist a teammate and ended up giving the ball away.
Henceforth, the locals appealed to the collective game to attack the rival, while the visit was dedicated solely and exclusively to defending the zero in their goal.
“Cariaco” González, Sherman Cárdenas and Fredy Hinestroza were the most incisive in terms of creation for the junior players.
Precisely the first clear of the premises would arrive at 32 minutes with a powerful shot, which was deflected in the pastusa defense, by Hinestroza, but goalkeeper Martínez responded well.
In the second half, Pasto came out more determined. Coach Diego Corredor ordered his team to pressure Junior and prevent the connection between González and Sherman, the men of ideas.
So the plan worked until 66 minutes later the plan went to the ground. Mairon Quiñónes received his second yellow card, again for a foul on Marlon Piedrahita, and left the volcanic cast with ten.
Despite the above, Pasto did not give in and found a reward. At 78 minutes, Martínez made an extraordinary serve that César Quintero took advantage of to attend a Feiver Mercado that scored with a volley. Surprise in Barranquilla.
From the above, Junior appealed to self-love to seek a tie. Of course, disorder prevailed and those led by Amaranto Perea fell into despair. When the 90th minute was up, Gómez sent a ball into the area, Carmelo lowered it and “Cariaco” defined. Joy until the linesman annulled the action out of place.
