At the close of the third day of the final home runs, Sports Tolima defeated 1-0 to Equity and regained leadership Group B. Steady step towards the end of the BetPlay League.
Tedious meeting in Ibagué. Goal opportunities were completely scarce and individual performances made no difference. While the local tried, but missed in the last third; the visitor chose to keep the zero on his porch and completely forgot regarding the attack.
The pijao team took more than half an hour to approach (32′). Anderson Plata, the differential talent, won the band with a spectacular individual play and Daniel Cataño concluded with a deflected shot.
At the end of the first half, Andrés Ibargüen threw an interesting wall with Plata inside the area. In the end, the former Santa Fe took a shot that was barely open, but everything was invalidated because it was out of place.
About 50 minutes came the clearest. Junior Hernández won with pure skill on the left side, he cut from the outside in and a pass came out to Plata, who finished off first, but the ball came out grazing the right post of the insurance goalkeeper.
With the entrance of Lucumí, the Tolimense attack had a new air. He quickly generated a goal option thanks to a shot that Washington Ortega saved and won several offenses near the capital area.
And the ex-America tried so hard that he ended up breaking zero. At 76 ‘he received in three quarters of the field, eluded a defender and despite the numerous mark he took a whiplash that stuck in the angle. Spectacular goal.
Although happiness was almost ruined seven minutes later, following Francisco Chaverra unleashed a nice shot with the outside of his right foot that hit William Cuesta’s vertical right. The ball bounced, hit the goalkeeper and went out. Miracle.
Finally, it was a victory for Deportes Tolima, which places it at the top of Group B with seven units, two more than Medellín. Likewise, Equity is anchored with three points.
