Santa Fe was not complicated. He did not go around the bush in El Campín, it is not his custom. He needed to win, recover from his defeat in Cali, and the victim was Boyacá Chicó, whom he beat 3-1 to reach 30 points and be practically classified in the quarterfinals.
Three goals, three moments, three cardinal celebrations served to liquidate Chicó. Santa Fe wanted a game without pressure, without anguish, a moment of peace after the battle it experienced and lost in Cali. And so he won, with solvency and forcefulness, but the problem is that quiet games do not exist: he lost Sambueza through injury, starting the game, and goalkeeper Castellanos, in the second half.

In the process, he had a lucid, clear Seijas, and thank goodness because Sambueza was no longer there, and he also had a Jorge Ramos inspired. The young attacker made the first, and that he finished badly, one of those shots that seem made with both legs, imagine it like that, with both and falling, because the ball deceived the goalkeeper and went inside, and it was 1-0 when just 21 minutes went.
Santa Fe celebrates against Chicó.
Santa Fe maintained control, dominance and the intention of looking for more goals. And since Seijas was clear, he went and put a cross from the left directly to the head of Kelvin Osorio, who threw himself at that ball and sent it to the net. They were 36 minutes and the victory was very comfortable.
And there was more for the Venezuelan, who in a free kick put the ball in the area, with poison, Andrés Pérez headed to the ground and Ramos, the inspired one, was ready to push the 3-0, in 38 minutes, to round off the task of the first time.

Santa Fe allowed a goal because Chicó remembered in the second half of some saved talent, with a gig and a nice shot from Palacios, from medium distance, and it was 3-1 that did not give to think that things could be complicated to the cardinals.
It was when Castellanos’s injury came, the entrance of the young goalkeeper Ómar Rodríguez, who had no problems, perhaps a shock in a strong free kick and an exit with impetus to cut a center.
Santa Fe was able to make the fourth, but goalkeeper Caicedo made the save that he could not do in the other three goals. And that was it, cardinal victory, he already reached 30 points, that is, he crosses the tentative frontier of the classification, and continues his march.
