A good feeling, from football, left in the Antioquia fans the second date of the semi-finals of the Betplay League 1-2022.
Both Nacional, which on Tuesday tied (2-2) with Millonarios at Atanasio Girardot, and Medellín, which on Wednesday equaled (0-0) with Tolima, in Ibagué, They exhibited the delivery and the impetus that the fan always expects.
Prior to the game, the purslane fans stressed the need to add the three points, especially since the albiazul team has the advantage of the “invisible point”, which they earned for finishing in first place in the all- once morest-all phase.
Although in the end it only added one, most of the fans who came to the stadium were pleased with the spectacle they saw, because for many it was the most vibrant match they have seen this year for their team.
“Nacional showed desire and attitude, although it has imbalances and players who do not contribute much; that’s why he looks unbalanced. While millionaires It is an even team, with process and very synchronized”, the analyst told this newspaper. Juan Jose Pelaez.
Disgust of the day
The main disappointment that the day left for the followers of the green were the decisions that were made following the use of the WAS, which led to the annulment of a legitimate goal to Emmanuel Olivera, at the beginning of the game, which might well have changed the landscape of the match.
Although there are different potions in this regard (see box), for most there is the feeling that Jéfferson Duque’s previous action was lawful and this tool should not have been used in that play.
Beyond the above, it is evident that between the fans, the coaching staff and the players of Atlético Nacional There was a concern when seeing that Millonarios remains solid in the leadership of group A, with four points, while Bucaramanga appears second, with three, and the Antioquia team is third, with two. The ranking is closed by Junior, with one.
“We continue in the fight for the classification, this is very even, the home run will be difficult, complicated, but we are going there. it’s coming Bucaramanga at home (Saturday, 5:15 pm) and we will try to win, we are still strong”, stressed the coach Hernan Dario Herrera.
Medellin sign outside
For its part, Independent Medellin confirmed during his visit to Ibague that it is no longer an ordeal for their players to act as visitors, as happened in the first days of all, in which they suffered several consecutive defeats.
“I saw the DIM very well presented in the game, with a good attitude; he knew how to block a rival that has many variables in attack, ”added Peláez.
El Poderoso has not known defeat in the Betplay 1 League outside of Atanasio since February 19, when it was beaten 1-0 by Santa Fe, in El Campín. The foregoing, without counting the commitment of the 19th date, in which he did not appear for reasons of public order and at the desk the Dimayor gave the three points to Jaguares.
The tie in Ibagué allows the People’s Team maintain their aspirations in home run B, in which they are second with four points, above La Equidad, which has three, and Envigado, which has not yet added. The only worrying fact is that Tolima remains firm in first place, also with four, and in its favor, as well as Millonarios in the other group, which in case of a tie in points with another club will be the one that advances to the final. .
However, this concern is attenuated by the motivation generated by having stopped the Vinotinto cast, which has been solid this semester and came with high morale for qualifying for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. It is also reassuring to know that there is still a match pending once morest this club, at Atanasio, in which they can take a few points advantage and take away the bonus that their placement in the first round gave them.
“This hints at something, but there are no big differences; we have been strong at home and we hope to continue in the same way so that, when the time comes, we can achieve the advantage”, said coach Julio Avelino Comesaña.
Andrew Cadavid reached five yellow cards and will be out on Sunday (3:00 pm) once morest Envigado. At this meeting, which will be held at the Polideportivo Sur, Medellin fans will not be able to enter with clothing alluding to the team. The bars will also not be able to carry rags or musical instruments due to bad behavior in the classic with Nacional (April 30).
