The story is old and well known. TO Santa Fe they don’t beat it until they beat it. Until the stopwatch doesn’t stop. This Sunday, that already known story was repeated in the stadium Freedom, why Food he beat him well, but he defended himself very early. Perhaps hoping that the game would end soon, as if he did not face Santa Fe, as if he did not know him. And 10 minutes from the end, that is, an eternity, there was a penalty, a perfect collection of Seijas, and the 1-1 that the Cardinals celebrated as victory.

It was not an easy game. Santa Fe wanted to have control of the game, to elaborate from the beginning, so as not to have to suffer so much. But it was his turn, because the clarity and depth did not reach Pasto, they stayed in Bogota. Neither did the ball travel still, the team’s lethal weapon. And to top it all, a neglect in the first half was enough for the game to be uphill, complicated.
Santa Fe is rarely distracted, but if it does, it suffers. Pasto arrived little but it was effective, he attacked him on the right wing and from there the center was conceived that he could not avoid Dairon mosquera, straight to the heart of the area, where Pajoy waited furtively. He had the calm, time and dexterity to receive with his chest and finish off at an angle, the ball well adjusted to the post so that the goalkeeper Ómar Rodríguez I had no chance to be a hero, because the hero was only one at that moment, Pajoy, who finished and celebrated in 36 minutes.

So there was a long time left for Santa Fe get up and knit the tie. Maybe he didn’t expect it to be so complicated. Seijas tried to be the guide, with his successful changes of front. Giraldo and Pérez pushed from behind. Arboleda was trying some surprise on the right wing. But nothing came out, the depth was not. The still ball was not effective and time was running. Pedroza, Velásquez and Cucchi came in from the bank to see what they could solve.
Santa Fe didn’t want to lose, that’s why he fought until the end, stumbling over that pastusa wall, because the locals didn’t want to know more about the game, just about the clock and defending themselves.
And when there were 12 minutes left, a lot of game when you have in front of Santa Fe, the penalty play arrived. It was the player Danilo Arboleda the one who wanted to clear the ball from the area with his soul, but without realizing that Daniel Giraldo it passed stealthily down his back and was ahead of him, receiving the impact like a ball, and to the ground. Referee Wïlmar Roldan didn’t even think about it. He signaled the penalty immediately.
It was Seijas who settled the ball. He looked at goalkeeper Luis Delgado and with all coldness he arranged the ball to his right, tricked him and beat him 10 from the end, and with that goal Santa Fe he got away with it again, because that’s how he got a new draw, one of those that taste like glory, victory, because scoring a goal against Pasto seemed like an impossible task.
There are already 31 points in the table, so the classification In the quarterfinals she was more than certified, and in her best style, with that claw with which she conceals even her most tangled matches.
