Medellín defeats Boyacá Chicó (Vizzor Image)
After the suspense that caused the peasants’ strike, that prevented the game between Boyacá Chicó and Independiente Medellín from taking place on Monday, they met a day later in La Independencia de Tunja. The previous one was hot, which involved shareholder Eduardo Pimentel for asking for the points on the desk, but DIM took revenge and came close to ending the series with the ‘Ajedrezados’, with a 1-4 victory against the team led by Sergio Migliaccio. It was a great night, which Alejandro Restrepo needed so much after difficult days.
The ‘Powerful’ shone with a splendid night from their attackers, volatile in each attacking role, whether to define or give up key goal balls for the respective celebrations. The visit vibrated with the goals of Ménder García (3′), Leyser Chaverra (30′), Brayan León (63′) and Fainer Torijano (76′). For its part, the home team only had a goal from Michael Nike Gómez (15′).

At the height of Tunja, efficiency had to be achieved. That’s what the DIM pointed outwho had a feast very early thanks to Ménder García’s initial goalafter a very good understanding between the strikers. Everything was born from a ball above Jimer Fory, left winger, who gave way so that León could lower the ball with his left leg and García pushed at first intention, through a subtle shot, to unleash the euphoria of the paisas.
However, at 12′, The referee Juan Pablo Alba decreed a maximum penalty committed by Jherson Mosqueradefender blamed for hugging Jacobo Pimentel and preventing him from reaching the meeting with the ball. That penalty was resolved by Michael Nike Gómez, at the safety point, defining Éder Chaux’s right post. Little by little the place became inspired, but after half an hour, Chaverra would strike a check.
The game became crazy, frenetic and with chances for both. The resolution was for the DIM, which obtained peace of mind through Leyser Chaverra. The center from the right, combed by Luis Sandoval so that Ménder García could let it pass, in the heart of the area, led to a left-footed sweep to decree the partial advantage.
The complementary stage was calmer for Medellín, withdrawn and aware that the return will be in a few days. Now, Brayan León Muñiz had his own in the 62nd minute after a phenomenal action by Ménder García, heading into the area, avoiding Rafael Uzcategui’s mark and overflowing from its side. He put a pass in the middle and simply hit it, gently, into the rival goal.
To put the cherry on the cake, Coming to the epilogue of the game, the baptism of a goal for Fainer Torijano was presented. The defender with a past in Once Caldas, with a splendid heel and with his back to the goal, finished off Rogerio Caicedo’s frame. A phenomenal center from Jaime Alvarado, heading to the area, was scored by Torijano to close the score in Boyacá. Categorical victory and practically sealed ticket to the semifinals, except for a catastrophe this Friday, October 25 at the Atanasio Girardot.

Well, well, well! What do we have here, ladies and gentlemen? A thrilling tale from the beautiful game, glistening on the pages of a sports column like a sweaty footballer on a hot day!
Let’s dive into the action: we’ve got Medellín putting on a show, defeating Boyacá Chicó with a scoreline of 4-1. That’s some serious business, isn’t it? One team’s “disheartening defeat” is another team’s “get in there, lads!” moment. And what a rollercoaster this game has been!
First off, let’s talk about the prelude to the match. A peasants’ strike? Really? I must admit, my first thought was ‘Is this part of the latest political drama or are they just upset about who stole their lunch?’ But enough of farm-to-table conflicts; we’re here for the football, not the peas!
And oh boy, did Medellín need this’ smashing victory’. Alejandro Restrepo, the manager, must’ve felt more pressure than a balloon at a kid’s birthday party. But look at that! The ‘powerful’ DIM turned their season around like a pro magician—now you see our woes, now you don’t!
Now, let’s discuss the main event! What’s that? A first goal in just three minutes? Médner García set the stage like the opening act of a rock concert—before you could even say “offside,” he had the crowd roaring. But one quick jig on the dancefloor doesn’t mean the party is over, right? We had an early equalizer by Boyacá’s Michael Nike Gómez! A quick grimace from the Medellín defenders—kind of like a cat stepping on a Lego. No regrets, just pain!
But then Medellín said, “Not today, my friend!” Jumping into the second half with a ferocity reminiscent of a kid denied dessert—Brayan León scored a goal they’ll be singing about in the pubs. You could almost hear García’s mid-action battle cry: “You shall not pass!” as he danced through defenders like they were mere cones at a training session!
And can we just take a moment for Fainer Torijano? That goal was something special! Scoring with a heel kick? Someone tell Cristiano Ronaldo to take notes! It’s like watching an artist paint their masterpiece—if that artist had previously played in a back alley on a rickety goal post!
So, what does this all mean? With this solid victory, Medellín is practically packing their bags for the semifinals unless something catastrophic happens. You know, like a sequel where the villain isn’t really dead.
In conclusion, this match wasn’t just a feast of goals; it was an emotional rollercoaster, a tactical chess match, and if those peasants are still protesting after all this excitement, they might just need to take a lesson in passion from the footballers. Because when it comes to Medellín, it’s not just the result that matters—it’s how you celebrate it! Cheers to that!
