Alfredo Arias’ team had one of its best matches in this semester of the BetPlay League against an Atlético Nacional team that is too worrying and then must face the second leg final of the Cup against Millonarios. The classic paisa was owned by the powerful from the beginning to the end of the match, where Edwin Cetré and Brayan León were the most decisive players for Medellín.
The match began in favor of the red team, which from the opening whistle went out to find the score against a Nacional that with youth and experience hoped to safeguard and defend itself as much as it could. However, at 7 minutes the first goal for Medellín would come, after a play on the left side ended in an own goal by the central defender, Sergio Mosquera, who put the ball in his goal.
However, the nightmare continued for Nacional when Sergio Mosquera stepped on the heel of striker Brayan León. The match referee, Wilmar Roldán, reviewed the play on the VAR and determined a penalty in favor of the team. During the protests of the players of the purslane team, the match judge ended up expelling Dorlan Pabón for questioning the decision.
After all the controversy, Edwin Cetré would be in charge of taking the penalty. However, Medellín’s scorer would end up missing the shot from twelve steps, after the ball ended up hitting the right-hand post of purslane goalkeeper, Harlen Castillo, 23 minutes into the opening period.
That scare that Nacional had did not last at all. Because at 27 minutes the Uruguayan midfielder, Joaquín Varela, made a cross from the right side that reached striker Brayan León, and finally, he ended up scoring Medellín’s goal in the match. It was the second score for the 23-year-old player this semester.
In the second half, Medellín equalized things with men on the field. After defender Daniel Londoño, he ended up being sent off for a double warning. All this after the powerful player knocked down Jhon Duque in a counterattack at 57 minutes of extra time.
The actions would end in the 94th minute, when Atlético Nacional would put the discount thanks to the Brazilian, Jader Gentil, who scored with a header from a corner kick at the end of the match.
Finally, Alfredo Arias’ team came out with the three points and continues as the leader with 6 points (invisible point) of group B of the semi-final home runs, and will now have to face Millonarios on the next date at the El Campín stadium. While Atlético Nacional will first have to play the second leg of the Cup final against the ambassador team in Atanasio, and will later host América de Cali on the third day.
