Deportivo Independiente Medellín drew 1-1 with Once Caldas, on date 17 in the 2020 Colombian League. The Manizales team began making a difference with a great game by Roberto Ovelar and a goal by Robert Mejía. In the complement, Andrés Cadavid from penalty equalized the score. The visit ended with 10 players.
The first half began with a proactive, orderly and dangerous Once Caldas by the bands. Medellín with a wide midfield, sought to hold the ball and with a single striker as a reference, break the lines. Although it only remained in ideas and good wishes.
At minute 20, a foray to the right by Roberto Ovelar led to a cross for Robert Mejía who, with a header, opened the scoring for the Manizales white team.
Yulián Gómez suffered a discomfort in his left foot and had to be relieved in the 23rd minute by Israel Escalante, changing the team’s approach. At minute 26, Didier Delgado had to equalize the score, but his shot with his right leg went wide.
The red team generated a couple of approaches, but the visiting goalkeeper Gerardo Ortiz did not have much demand in front of the DIM shots.
At the end of the first half, a collective counterattack by Once Caldas ended in a shot with a left leg by Sebastián Hernández that almost increased the score, Andrés Mosquera Marmolejo saved and the stick saved the local.
In the complementary stage, Medellín made a second change, Juan Manuel Cuesta left and Paraguayan Carlos Monges entered. The local was looking for the rival goal, while Once Caldas felt comfortable with the result.
At minute 23 Carlos Pájaro was sent off at Once Caldas after an offensive foul on Jaime Giraldo. Medellín continued to insist and at minute 27, a cross from Israel Escalante’s left sector led to Andrés Correa’s hand, to which the referee Andrés Rojas did not hesitate to sanction a penalty, which Andrés Cadavid transformed a minute later in the tie for the powerful set.
Despite being outnumbered, Once Caldas went out to look for the match against a passive Medellín and without ideas. In the last minutes the ‘albo’ left spaces in defense that tried to attack the premises, with more impetus than precision.
In the end, Medellín rescued a point that confirms his elimination in the championship, while Once Caldas was complicated the chances of fighting for a place in the group of eight.
On the next date, Independiente Medellín will face Independiente Santa Fe in Bogotá. While Once Caldas will face Deportivo Cali in Manizales.
