Three rounds ago, Millonarios beat Patriotas 1-0. The level of the team was not good, doubts grew and the options to qualify were complicated. In addition, the calendar was very complicated: he had to play against Junior in Barranquilla, against Nacional in Medellín and against América in Cali.
They did not stop believing in the team. In that ‘brave round’ he managed to get seven points out of nine possible: he tied Junior 1-1 in Barranquilla, defeated Nacional 3-0 without mitigating (a result that triggered the departure of coach Juan Carlos Osorio) and now, he beat the current champion, America, in the Pascual Guerrero.

However, the burden of the first days makes Millonarios still depend on other people’s results to fight for the classification. The distance with the eighth was reduced for now to two points (Nacional has 26, but with one game less).
Millos will have to wait for help in Sunday’s games, because if all the locals win, he will be back four points from the classification zone: Once Caldas, ninth with 25 points, will receive Deportivo Cali; Nacional will be local against Deportivo Pasto and Junior, who is also 26, will play against Alianza Petrolera in Barranquilla.

The schedule seems more benign now for Millos, who will face Deportivo Pereira as a visitor on Tuesday and then, on the last day, will play against Alianza Petrolera in El Campín. The team seems to have found the upward curve. But he no longer depends on himself.
