Colombian League Update: Millonarios Leads and Relegation Battle Intensifies

2023-05-10 07:00:00

This Wednesday the Colombian League began to update itself for the definition of the championship, with several commitments that were postponed, in which América and Deportivo Cali were aware, due to their positions in the tournament standings in general and the area of descent.

Although the Cyclone had more of the ball throughout the 90 minutes, they did not generate clear scoring options due to their lack of depth and ended up giving up an important draw in their fight for relegation.

The clearest option of the commitment was generated by Michael Nike, who crashed the ball into the left post, following a spectacular fly ball by goalkeeper Ramiro Sánchez.

In the end, the draw brings the Boyacense team closer to the group of the eight best in the tournament with 28 points, which partially places them within the select group and will depend on what they do in the two remaining games for their classification.

Millionaires, lonely leader

Millonarios consolidated itself as the solid leader of the Colombian League I-2023, following defeating Alianza Petrolera 3-1 at the Nemesio Camacho El Campín stadium, in a game that was postponed from the third date of the contest.

The ambassadors breathe easy with the result of this Wednesday, as they reach 36 units in the standings to face the last two rounds of all once morest all and dream of being seeded ahead of the semifinal home runs.

The oil tankers are the ones who return home to seek to add, at least, another three points that will put them in the next phase of the League, since with 27 units in the table and in sixth position, they still have to row to not be left out .

The Bogotá team began winning following 30 minutes with the first score of the night by defender Juan Pablo Vargas, who finished off a masterful pass from Daniel Cataño, from a free kick, to send it to save in the center of the area.

The equalizer for the visit came very quickly, just four minutes later, following a foul inside the blue area by Jorge Arias, which Steven Rodríguez capitalized very well, who charged the left post of goalkeeper Juan Moreno, who flew to the other side.

On the next date, Millonarios will visit Chicó at the La Independencia stadium, where the Boyacá team will seek to ensure their classification at eight. Alianza Petrolera, for its part, will receive Atlético Nacional in Barrancabermeja, which is already classified.

With these results, the standings had slight modifications, facing the last two rounds of all once morest all.
