América de Cali defeated Pereira 0-1 this Monday on the 17th date of the 2020 BetPlay League, at the Hernán Ramírez Villegas Stadium, and with 33 points they qualified early for the quarterfinals.
The scarlets took advantage of their usual high pressure and led the local to get confused and make childish mistakes at the start like the one that represented the goal, at the feet of Adrián Ramos.
Without offering an overwhelming superiority, the team led by Juan Cruz Real made the difference with better triangulations to gain spaces on adversary terrain, especially in the first episode. In the local, little to highlight, because it did not have offensive weight.
In minute 8 came a very strong center from Casierra from the left, Jairo Molina was surprised to receive the ball and did not finish in the area. They called for a penalty from Velasco.
At 14 Carrascal and Vergara arrived, although the Matecaña defense controlled the action well.
On 16, the goalkeeper Castillo made a mistake in giving Michael Ordóñez in half, Carrascal stole it, he left it to Adrián Ramos who leaned on Yesus Cabrera for the shot, and after two rebounds the ball was taken again by Ramos to define with left leg to the ditto stick and convert the 0-1.
In the 24th, Cardoza collided with Ramos when going to look for a header and the game was interrupted while the respective sutures were made.
At 31 Vergara put in a cross that hit the outstretched hand of Michael Ordóñez for a penalty, but the referee did not give it.
Vasquez had the chance to tie at 39, but he did not hit the ball with strength.
Vergara rode to the right from the middle of the court after Ureña’s pass, but his shot did not have direction and he lost on the left post, in overtime of the initial stage.
As expected, pressed by the partial defeat Pereira advanced his lines, regained possession and produced several centers to the area of Joel Graterol. Although the truth be told, your
At 10, a Velasco foul on De la Rosa could have been another yellow. However, he was not saved because at 24 he stomped on De la Rosa himself and there he did receive the traffic light, leaving his team with 10 men.
Pereira was close to equalizing at 38 when Casierra headed in at 5.50, Molina did not manage to finish and Álvarez did, only that Graterol was required to get the ball over the horizontal.
Sierra took a frontal free kick that went over the crossbar at 42. Pereira burned his last cartridge on a pass from Vasquez to the area, but Graterol saved his team again. In the end, the highlight of this meeting was the anticipated classification of the Colombian champion and that ‘Adriancho’ added his fifth goal in the League.
On date 18, America will receive Millonarios on Saturday, November 7 (8:30 pm), while Pereira will visit Patriotas that same day (2:30 pm).
