In the return of the quarterfinals in the 2020 Betplay League, Santa Fe received Deportivo Pasto in Bogotá seeking to overcome the 0-1 obtained last week in Nariño.
The game began with a great scare for Santa Fe. At the minute of play, Jhon Pajoy tried from medium distance with a powerful shot and just at that moment Leandro Castellanos slipped. Luck smiled at the red of the capital as the ball went astray.
About 11 minutes, the ‘León’ gave his first blow. Jorge Luis Ramos won the duel against Jerson Malagón on the right wing, sent a flush cross and Jhon Velásquez defined at will.
Despite the goal that equalized the series, the intentions of both teams did not change. The locals focused their game on high pressure and direct attacks, while the visit sought to seize possession to impose their style.
Pasto arrived in danger at minute 27. Camilo Ayala captured a rebound in the rival area, defined in an unorthodox way (with a hoot) and Castellanos sent the ball to the corner kick.
As the saying goes: “He who doesn’t do it, sees it done.” This was made clear by Santa Fe. Kelvin Osorio sent a cross into the area from the left, Francisco Rodríguez inexplicably wanted to control instead of rejecting and ended up assisting Velásquez who scored his double.
The second part began with a local storm. Velasquez left captain Ayala on the road, outlined himself and released a right hand that ended up crashing on the crossbar. Figuron the creative 25 years old.
At 57 ‘, Luis Delgado almost put an end to Nariño’s illusions in Bogotá. The goalkeeper wanted to play but Ramos intervened in his pass, the ball bounced off Osorio and fell back on the scorer he defined.
Immediately afterwards, the linesman annulled the action for obvious misplaced Jorge Luis Ramos. The visit was saved.
The next clear option would come ten minutes later. Patricio Cucci, recently admitted, lowered it, Sambueza faced it and Osorio shot, but the ball went high. Very good team play.
Thereafter, the pace of the game fell dramatically. Red decided to become solid in defense, defend the advantage and appeal to the cons. For its part, the volcanic team could do little collectively, clinging to the ball still.
Exactly at minute 83, ‘Jopito’ Álvarez took charge of a free kick close to the rival area, surprised everyone with a rained center, Carlos Daniel Hidalgo controlled and finished on goal, but Castellanos saved. Defensive inattention that hardly charges the visit.
In the end, Santa Fe managed to achieve his comeback, he did not suffer at all and will play the semifinals of Colombian soccer against Equidad.
