From beginning to end, Santa Fe showed throughout the Women’s League that it was the best team and ratified it in the last act of the championship, in which it was far superior to the America from Cali. The Lionesses regained the throne with a forceful performance, hitting when they had to and holding out when their rival scared them. It was a fair 2-0.
They won 12 of the 14 games they played, scored 14 more points than the second team (with the exception that America played two fewer games) and never showed signs of weakness in the two and a half months that the championship lasted. He has not lost as a visitor for two years and at home he also knew how to respond when he should. That is why he is a just champion.

The team led by Albeiro Erazo had already set conditions at Pascual Guerrero, when he won 1-2 and began to tilt the final in his favor. And it only needed 12 minutes to increase the pressure and put America to suffer.
The play was started by Ivonne Chacón, who entered on the right wing and touched the center of the area. The pass found a defender from the visitor, but ended in a rebound that took advantage of very well Paraguayan Fany Gauto, who finished with a left foot and beat goalkeeper Natalia Giraldo. Cardinals fans, in the distance, had an additional reason to celebrate, after what happened on Saturday night with the men’s team.
The game went hand in hand from that moment on, because America put their heart into it to try to cut a deficit that was already two goals. But first Santa Fe hit, with a shot from Jessica Peña that crashed horizontally.
Then, the locals repeated with a touch of a cue from Kena Romero that failed to connect fully. And ending the first stage, Gisela Robledo was able to close the gap, but the ball crashed into the post.
Santa Fe began the second half determined to sentence the final and did so when barely two minutes had passed, on a factory stamp of the men’s team, the ball still. The charge fell to the area, where Kena Romero managed to touch her and the Colombian-Venezuelan Nubiluz Rangel entered with everything to mark the second.

From that moment on, Santa Fe managed the game and America, at the point of self-love, tried to discount without success. The second star of the Women’s League already hangs from the shield of the Lionesses. And with all the merits. What a weekend!
