The closure of the date 13 promised. Millionaires and Junioramidst the seasoning, all that it stood for, left a pale impression on the aficionado. Everything was left for the end, with the goal of Richard Celis.
Millionaires had news in his starting eleventh. Bertel was left out and did not recover, in his place, Perlaza entered from the left, before the return of Felipe Román, who occupied the right lane.
From the outset, Gamero’s men sought to impose conditions on their style, subduing Junior, who could only find the defense-attack transition, to fill that gap to go out with the ball on the floor.
Cruz Real’s proposal was clear. Medium low block, to avoid leaving spaces in the background, avoiding surprises from the locals. Carmelo Valencia, was like a point man, waiting to be supplied with balls by Albornoz and Hinestroza, who from the beginning, looked erratic to get out at speed.
The bands were important for Junior until minute 32, Omar Albornoz cut inside, finishing off the goal, the ball was controlled by Montero. Junior began to loosen up a little more, leaving his court and trying to create danger. Arias had the clearest, coming from behind, heading aimlessly.
For the start of the second half, Cruz Real sent Miguel Ángel Borja to the field, instead of Carmelo Valencia, who did not find the spaces in attack. Millonarios warned about the start of the complement, Eduardo Sosa took advantage of a rebound ball, further back from the crescent of the area, to take a powerful shot, which was saved by Viera.
The visit continued to move the board. Hinestroza was removed, to make way for Luis González. The Uruguayan goalkeeper was again fundamental, to keep the zero. Vásquez entered in the middle, before a great pass from Ruiz. In heads up, Viera guessed the stick.
Junior continued in his bet, wait and counterattack. With Ángel, he had a shot in those transitions, which was saved by Montero. Gamero sent Celis to the field, replacing Silva.
Millonarios once again increased the revolutions, advancing their lines, in the face of Junior’s withdrawal, without finding a space to reach the rival goal, in the face of the density of the visitors, who once again moved back all their lines and did not allow the players to pass in half, complicating the blue work.
Gamero tried to change things in attack. He took out Valencia, to give Herazo time, who from the outset had a clear action, reaching the advance, but he sent it over the crossbar.
About minute 85, Miguel Ángel Borja had the clearest of Junior. Ball that was left for him to finish off, crashing it into the post.
Millonarios found the key to the goal, at minute 92. Ruiz took a corner kick, rebounding in the center of the area, so that Richard Celis scored the winning goal.
Millionaires will visit America on the following day, at the Pascual Guerrero. For his part, Junior will receive Alianza Petrolera.
