Pasto took advantage of Santa Fe’s error and in 15 minutes he resolved the first leg for the BetPlay League quarterfinals with Jeison Medina’s goal to put the series 1-0 in favor of Diego Corredor’s men who knew how to play against a Bogota team that despite having the intention of proposing and playing in the rival field did not have enough creativity to generate danger in the goal of Luis Delgado.
Santa Fe proposed and Pasto took advantage of the error
Pasto got up on the scoreboard at 15 minutes after a good play that Camilo Ayala started on the right after recovering the ball in a Santa Fe side kick that left the Bogota team badly off He took the opportunity to filter a pass in the middle of the centrals for Jeison Medina who calmly defined the right post of Castellanos.
Santa Fe played ahead and Pasto took the opportunity to play behind the defense looking for the speed of Mena and Pajoy; while, the visit with the possession of the ball tried to open the defense playing on the sides and throwing centers for Ramos.
Medina was close to extending the lead but sent it over the goal of Castellanos when he tried to poke the goalkeeper. On the side of Santa Fe, Kelvin and Gómez were the two who tested Delgado with shots that Pasto controlled well. The game for the visit was complicated in the generation of the game, despite the mobility of Sambueza, a lot was played by the Herrera sector that was imprecise to launch centers.
The first half ended with more possession for those of Harold Rivera with 58.9%, above the 41.1 of Diego Corredor’s team who defended with order and took advantage of the errors of Santa Fe.
The VAR prevented the referee from making a mistake
With little rhythm the second half started (the referee was also key to that, pausing the game), Santa Fe was getting closer to Delgado’s goal, but more by divided plays than generated. Rivera moved the bench quickly and at 55 ‘he put Pedroza in place of Pérez who already had yellow.
The possession of the ball continued to be Santa Fe’s, but the well-retracted Pasto occupied all the spaces and covered the option of passing. The game was very tactical and Sambueza on the visit disappeared for several minutes, which harmed the generation of collective gambling in Bogota. In defense they also showed failures that they usually do not have in output that the premises did not take advantage of.
Santa Fe went deeper after 70 minutes when Sambueza was activated again to put filtered balls to Gómez who failed in the definition. However, the game had an extra protagonist who was the referee Hinestroza who constantly stopped the game and made a mistake taking a red for Arboleda in which the VAR had to intervene to change the decision and just take the yellow.
Eight minutes from the end, Pasto had the clear option of scoring the second, but Moreno got tangled up with the ball after having eluded Castellanos. Santa Fe in the end went to look for the tie already with Valdés on the field and Malagón almost scoring an own goal for the locals.
