Millionaires went from more to less and ended with a second half to oblivion, that cost him the 1-2 defeat against Deportivo Cali and with it, he was left with an uphill panorama on the South American Cup.
Now, the team led by Alberto Gamero will have to beat a team that has not lost in their stadium for more than a year to reach the round of 16 of the international tournament. These were the five reasons for the downfall of Millionaires:

Domain without options. Millonarios managed the game in the first half, controlled Deportivo Cali, but that was not reflected in goal actions. And when he finally managed to score the first, between the technician’s approach and the visitor’s reaction, the game was different.
The casualties. Millonarios has lost several players due to injury: for this game he had four casualties, the two left-handed wingers (Felipe Banguero and Omar Bertel), one of the right-handers (Andrés Román) and a mixed midfielder (Juan Carlos Pereira). The gap on the left was covered with a midfielder, Diego Godoy, but when Cali wanted to hurt there, he found the space and scored one of the goals.
The changes. The movements that Gamero made to straighten the game did not come out. Although Ayron del Valle had a game to forget, in which he even missed a goal for trying to make a cue instead of kicking the goal, his replacement, Ricardo Márquez, again showed his bad moment. And then Juan Camilo Salazar and Eliser Quiñones entered, who had no weight in the game.
The defensive passing game. Millonarios scored two goals from above in which serious defensive problems were evident. In the first, in addition to Agustín Palavecino taking advantage of Godoy’s improvisation as a winger, Andrés Colorado was free to finish. And in the second, Juan Pablo Vargas miscalculated in the jump and Hernán Menosse, almost without jumping, had time to locate the ball to bathe goalkeeper Vargas.

A team that collapses. Millonarios did not recover from the tying goal, fell emotionally and had no reaction. He was outmatched by a team that didn’t need his best football to subdue him.
