Vibrant classic with many emotions. Millonarios was the one who hit first, but then Santa Fe responded. The Cartagena connection gave the three points to the blues who are very close to qualifying. The Cardinal team was left with 10 for almost the entire second half. Those led by Gamero held on, but in the end they suffered.
Now, Santa Fe will have to look for options outside to qualify. Beckham and Juan Carlos Pereira were the great figures of the classic. Millonarios also leaves happy because they take revenge for the first classic in the semester.
Millionaires and Santa Fe hit each other
The classic started vibrant and back and forth. However, the first to warn was Independiente Santa Fe with a shot by Dairon Mosquera that passed very close to Álvaro Montero’s goal. Millonarios had to respond with Beckham Castro’s imbalance. The ambassadors pressed high and in a mistake they almost opened the scoring. Recovery of Leo Castro that remains for Daniel Giraldo, the midfielder entered the area alone, but defined very poorly against Antony Silva.
Santa Fe opted for possession and Millonarios for the long game. The cardinal team came close with risk in the 11th minute with a cross shot by Ever Valencia. The bands were the most used by both teams. Gamero had already warned at a press conference that when they are mirror structures, the game is similar and a similar way out of the attack is sought.
As the minutes passed, Millonarios gained possession of the ball and in the 17th minute opened the scoring. Collective play between Omar Bertel, Mackalister Silva who let it pass between his legs, Leo Castro who assisted Beckham first who sent the center to Edgar Guerra who beat Dairon Mosquera and finished to beat Antony Silva. Blue explosion in El Campín.
Santa Fe had to react and advanced lines, this made Millonarios feel more comfortable and will calmly look for spaces with Mackalister Silva and Leonardo Castro. The locals improved and in the 29th minute they found the tying goal. The ball behind Bertel who trusted himself, Fabián Viáfara beat him in speed and sent the center to Hugo Rodallega who defined with great quality inside the area to beat Álvaro Montero.
Those led by Pablo Peirano gained confidence and in the 32nd minute they almost scored the second. Sambueza won the duel against Bertel who was not having a good game, he sent the center back to Hugo Rodallega who finished first and passed very close to Montero’s goal. Millonarios reacted and in the 39th minute was able to go ahead on the scoreboard with a great play by Edgar Guerra, the winger finished off, the Paraguayan goalkeeper left the rebound, but Beckham sent it over the goal. Hands up to all the blues.
At the end of the first half the emotions continued and in the 43rd minute, Santa Fe was left with 10 after a hard foul by Fabián Sambueza on Álvaro Montero. The judge was called by the VAR and after two minutes he declared a red card for the Argentine.
Millonarios takes the lead and endures the result
In the complementary part, Millonarios came out to pressure the rival and look for the second, the blues wanted to take advantage of the extra man. Gamero sent Luis Paredes onto the playing field to have more overflow on the right wing. The blues found the score immediately with a masterful goal pass from Juan Carlos Pereira that put it to the head of Beckham Castro who defined with quality. Cartagena connection.
The ambassador team began to manage ball possession and Santa Fe held on with a low block. Peirano looked worried and trying to find solutions. After the few solutions in attack by the red team, Millonarios took the opportunity to increase the score, once again a great collective game by the blue team. Juan Carlos Pereira sees Leonardo Castro free and the striker defines the angle with power to leave Silva with no option.
Beckham, one of the Millionaires figures in the classic SOFASCORE
The blow was so forceful that Santa Fe found itself without intensity and lost the little rebellion it had at the start. In the last minutes, Millonarios controlled the ball and managed the pace of the game. The cardinal team was able to react until the 80th minute, when Jorge Arias fouled Kevin Londoño in the area. The judge ruled criminal. The person in charge of collecting it was Hugo Rodallega, who defined with quality against Álvaro Montero. The forward seems to be the only one who has the desire to get the team out of a bad moment.
In the last few minutes, Santa Fe put pressure on Millonarios, who became complicated in the delivery of the ball and in the defensive zone. Álvaro Montero was important in slowing down the Cardinals’ pace.
With this victory, Millonarios reached 29 points and those led by Peirano remain with 23 units. On the next date, Santa Fe will visit Atlético Huila in Neiva next Friday, while the ambassadors receive Boyacá Chicó in El Campín.
