On matchday 12 of Colombian soccer, Millonarios faced their third consecutive away game. This time he was returning to La Independencia de Tunja to face Patriotas.
Just seven minutes were enough for the ambassador team to make a difference. Cristian Arango enabled Omar Bertel in an excellent projection on the left wing, the youth reached the bottom line and sent a center at mid-height that Fernando Uribe just pushed.
Those of Alberto Gamero were the sole owners of the party. They got through from high pressure and quick defense-attack transitions. Round start against a rival who gave no major opposition.
At 20 ‘, Millonarios hit again. Total effectiveness. Deep ball that Uribe combed, Arango received on the half and opened by right sector for Edgar Guerra who controlled and scored with a powerful right hand. First goal as a professional for the Cesar-born.
Patriotas grew up with the urgent need to seek the discount before finishing the first part. He started rallying and the torrential rain helped his idea.
Of course, it took 39 minutes to arrive clearly. Sideways ball that the ambassador defense could not clear, Mauricio Gómez lowered it as best he could, beat Elvis Perlaza and defined. Immediately, the linesman raised his flag and annulled the action out of place.
Four minutes later (43 ‘), Edgardo Rito took advantage of an error by central defender Juan Pablo Vargas, advanced with a dominated ball in the area and when he wanted to finish, goalkeeper Christian Vargas quickly shortened him to evacuate the danger. Great reaction from the ex-Bucaramanga.
As it happened at the dawn of the engagement, Millonarios began with the intention of breaking the rival arc. At 49 ‘, the fourth minute of the second half, Perlaza and Guerra met on the right after a prepared play with a quiet ball, the ex-Medellín overflowed and sent a pass back that Daniel Ruíz almost took advantage of.
In this opportunity, Patriotas did not take so long to react and generated a couple of occasions, but the imprecision in the last third reigned. Little by little the game was going back and forth.
At minute 57 again an out of place prevented the local discount. Óscar Vanegas started the game in the middle of the field, nobody pressured him and sent a very good deep pass for Jesús Arrieta who, sneaking behind the center-backs, defined before the departure of Vargas, but the line raised his flag.
The field began to take its toll on the Albiazul box. The midfield was lost, due to evident fatigue, thus giving the homeowner an opportunity to attack. So much so that defender Andrés Llinás could not continue due to cramps and Juan Camilo García also withdrew to oxygenate the central axis. Breiner Paz (defense) and Juan Carlos Pereira (midfielder) entered.
Millos generated a new opportunity at 67 ‘. Arango stole a ball out of Patriotas, endured Uribe’s movement and sent him a pass into the void; ex-Once Caldas won in speed and when defining, goalkeeper Luis Hurtado saved. The two forwards managed to get by alone.
Already in the last fifteen minutes the game was completely opened. The homeowners came out determined to look for the miracle by advancing lines and moving the substitute bench, the visit on their part became strong behind and focused their attacks on counterattacks.
Curiously, the cast of the capital was the one who starred in the clearest goal options at the end, Pereira and the ‘Chicho’ looked for him, but the scoreboard would not move. Important 2-0 victory and promotion to fourth place in the championship.
