Deportivo Independiente Medellín fell 1-2 with Deportivo Pereira, for the first date of group A in Liguilla 2020. The powerful tried, but did not reach him against a team from Mateca that was effective and with goals from Rafael Navarro and Wilfrido De la Rosa was enough for him to prevail after 13 years. The last time the ‘aurirojo’ beat DIM at the Atanasio was on April 24, 2007.
The first minutes were with a round trip, where Medellín and Pereira disturbed the goalkeepers. But it was at minute 12, when the visitor opened the scoring through Rafael Navarro, who finished off with a right leg from the center of the area below, next to the left post. The player took advantage of a pass from Wilfrido de la Rosa.
The & # 39; matecañas & # 39; cheered on the opposing goal, while the locals withstood the attacks on a fast field as a result of the rain that fell on the Atanasio Girardot stadium. At minute 16, Javier Reina approached with a left-footed shot from outside the area. Bayron Garcés also dared demanding from Harlen Castillo.
At minute 22, Medellín made the first change, removing Juan Camilo Moreno and entering Edwin Mosquera, changing the module for a more aggressive one. The powerful one controlled the ball and generated about three goal options, but Castillo was growing in his performance and the Pereira defense was attentive.
The game continued to be intense and in replacement time, Wilfrido de la Rosa increased the score for Pereira. The former Envigado finished off the ball with his right leg, taking advantage of a cross from Jhonny Vásquez, who had the skill to make a good corner charge. De la Rosa was well located in the heart of the area.
In the complementary stage, the powerful one made two variants: Yesid Díaz and Juan David Mosquera came out, Juan Ospina and Luis Mena entered. Medellín raised the lines, and tried to find the opposite goal to discount on the scoreboard, Pereira was attentive and went on a counterattack. At minute 7, a shot from Vásquez almost ended in the third goal, but goalkeeper Andrés Mosquera was alert.
At minute 36, Bayron Garcés discounted for Medellín, with a center from the left sector by Juan Manuel Cuesta who had entered minutes before and in the heart of the area, the former Atlético Huila with a header beat Castillo’s goal. In the end, the Pereiranos enjoy a key triumph in Antioquia and the red Antioqueño nothing that raises its head in the League and started badly in the Liguilla.
On the next date, Independiente Medellín visits Envigado at the Polideportivo Sur, while Deportivo Pereira will face Águilas Doradas at home.
