The fifth day from Liga BetPlay 2022-II ended with a tie at one between Independent Santa Fe and America de Cali in El Campin. Several surprises, many goals and a new leader throughout this date.
Below is the balance of what happened in Colombia:
The good
– Millionaires, new leader of Colombian soccer: The ambassador team defeated Unión Magdalena 0-2 in Santa Marta and snatched the top of the championship with 11 units.
– Nacional finally added three: Despite not displaying his best football at the Atanasio Girardot, the green paisa fairly beat Deportivo Pasto and climbed the standings.
– Once Caldas stayed with the classic: Those from Manizales are on a good run under the guidance of Diego Corredor and at Palogrande they dispatched Deportivo Pereira with just enough in the coffee classic.
– Great offensive production: 30 goals were scored throughout the day for an average of three goals per game. To the surprise of many, the duel between Equidad and Patriotas provided seven celebrations (4-3).
The bad
– Deportivo Cali continues in a serious crisis: Mayer Candelo’s team was beaten in Palmaseca by Envigado (3-0). He remains in a row with one point, he hasn’t won at home since March and the fans can’t stand the painful situation.
– América has not been able to win in the second semester: Despite starting by winning the classic with a score from Carlos Sierra, in the second half they allowed Santa Fe to tie and made their third tie in a row.
– Tolima feels the absences: Hernán Torres warned a few weeks ago that his team would suffer for not having rested and the warning came true. His team fell to Bucaramanga, reached three duels without winning and is out of the eight.
– Unión Magdalena and Patriotas seem sentenced: Both teams lost their respective games and moved away from Cortuluá, who did take advantage and added three. The comeback is getting further and further away.
The curious
– Reception of Once Caldas to Pereira: As the soccer players from Mateara left the bus one by one to enter the Palogrande, the mascot of the Manizaleño team showed them the Copa Libertadores (title obtained in 2004). The video immediately went viral on social media.
