Finish the closes 18 of Liga BetPlay 2023-I and with the match between Atlético Huila and América de Cali, the day was closed, leaving several classified teams and others that were on the brink of elimination after giving up important points.
The teams that valued this date were undoubtedly Millonarios, who secured themselves in the top eight in Colombia and left Independiente Santa Fe in intensive care, one of the teams that lost ground.
With the good, the bad and the ugly of date 18, FUTBOLRED reviews what happened on this decisive day and that will undoubtedly mark the future of some teams in this regular phase.
The good:
América sealed the ticket: the scarlet team managed to beat Atlético Huila in Neiva and with two masterful passes from Carlos Darwin Quintero, they managed to add 31 points to secure the eight. In the same way, with the 2-0 away draw they ended 12 years without beating the opitas.
Millionaires ranked: defeated Independiente Santa Fe in the capital classic and without a doubt it was the result that resounded the most on the day. The 1-0 win at El Campín made them reach 33 points, qualify for the finals and, incidentally, remain leaders.
Atlético Nacional is at the party: He had a good time on the date and after starting losing at the Atanasio Girardot stadium with Boyacá Chicó, he ended up beating the checkered team by beating them 3-1 and sealing his qualification to the home runs after reaching 31 points.
Deportivo Pereira believes in a miracle: He was another of the winners of the date and after his enormous victory against Independiente Medellín by 3-1, the Matecaña team won again after 4 games without achieving victory in the League. In addition, he continues with the illusion of qualifying.
Once Caldas breathed: He returned to victory and by defeating Junior de Barranquilla at the Palogrando stadium, he ended a drought of nine games without adding three points. They beat the shark 2-0 and Pedro Sarmiento’s men took a breather from relegation.
Deportes Tolima is excited: defeated Alianza Petrolera 2-1 and also ended a four-game winless streak and that became Juan Cruz Real’s first victory in command of the pijao, which leaves him with 22 points and hopes of continuing to try to reach that home run , although the task is a bit difficult.
Deportivo Pasto, serious contender: he thrashed Jaguares 4-0 and starred in the most bulky result of date 18. Likewise, the volcano returned to recover his memory and they reached 26 points that leaves them two victories away from getting a place in the finals.
Deportivo Cali remains motivated: The good part of the day ends, as they continue to move away from relegation and apparently they have overcome the crisis that they experienced throughout the League. They defeated Envigado 2-0, which made them climb up to 14th position with 21 points and incredibly remain three units behind the eighth position, which is Junior.
The bad:
Departure of David Gonzalez: After DIM’s defeat against Pereira, the board of directors decided to cancel the contract of the coach who led them to the 2022 League final. Surprise departure on decisive dates for qualifying.
The defeat of Santa Fe: having lost the classic was one of the negative balances of the date for the cardinal team, due to the fact that they lost against Millonarios and caused the departure of the eight qualifiers. Now, they must be forced to beat Atlético Nacional the postponed and then they will face Huila and Once Caldas to define their classification.
Junior from Barranquilla yielded: the shark lost ground and after losing against Colero Once Caldas, the team led by Hernán Darío ‘Bolillo’ Gómez was in eighth place, but not having added leaves him forced to add against Pereira and Huila in the two remaining dates. It was one of the worst games in the era of the experienced coach.
Boyacá Chicó deflated: the checkered one rode in the first places of the League, but his savings are running out and he is already close to being left out of the home runs. His defeat against purslane left him in an uncomfortable situation, although they are at least four points away to be sure.
Golden Eagles slowed down: After qualifying for home runs four dates in advance, Lucas González’s team ceased to be the leader after a 1-1 draw with La Equidad at home. Those from Rionegro are already thinking about the finals, but they are beginning to leave doubts about whether they have enough payroll to compete.
The ugly:
Fans who do not follow orders: in the capital classic between Millonarios and Santa Fe they staged an unpleasant event, as fans of the two clubs generated violence in El Campín. However, in the end they were captured by the Police after implementing the new security measures of the Bogotá Mayor’s Office. Those involved were fined and would pay up to 5 years in jail.
