THE COUNTRY | MANIZALES
Only two victories at home achieved Once Caldas this semester. Although he did not lose, there were eight draws that did not allow the team to add more points to be better located in the position table. Today he is out of the eight, with 26 points.
This Sunday he added his eighth equality: 1-1 against Deportivo Cali, on date 18 of the Betplay League.
El Blanco, with eight casualties due to covid-19, plus three from the coaching staff, faced the commitment with the obligation to win to maintain options to qualify.
The team generated three clear options in the first half. However, it was the visitor who had first warned with a shot at ground level by Angelo Rodríguez that goalkeeper Sergio Román covered, at 5 minutes.
Immediately the first of the Eleven arrived. Dayro Moreno pressured Hernán Lessse, stole the ball and enabled Roberto Ovelar, who finished with difficulty and keeper David González pulled the ball out of line.
At minute 23 Robert Mejía made a filtered pass to Marcelino Carreazo, who could not define in a heads-up and again saved the goalkeeper.
Cali took the lead in the 27th game with a collective play at first intention that ended with a strong shot from Jhon Vásquez to celebrate the first score.
The local responded through the middle distance of Pablo Rojas and González appeared again.
Equality
In the second, the team led by Joaquín Paco Castro, cornered the Valle del Cauca and achieved a tie. Before the VAR intervened for a possible penalty in favor of the Eleven, but the judge determined that there was no fault. Later, Roberto Ovelar was injured.
And then, with the Paraguayan outside and inside David Lemos and Ménder García, the goal came: center from the right side, foul against Lemos that the judge this time did sanction and that Dayro charged with class to achieve equality.
The Manizales team kept trying, they had other options that they could not specify. Cali regulated his payroll and took a point from Palogrande on a heavy court due to the heavy downpour that fell at the beginning of the game.
Eleven’s aspirations to qualify are complicated. He is partially ninth and will have to fight to win a place in the group of eight. To do so, he has to win the two remaining games, both away, with Pasto and Tolima.
