The first five games of date 15 of the BetPlay League were played. Pasto and Águilas Doradas opened the day this Friday, but Junior and Deportivo Cali gave the main surprises after Saturday’s games. Even so, it is worth remembering that Atlético Nacional and Millonarios will be left with two games pending.

Equidad opened the date with a 2-1 victory against Atlético Huila at the Metropolitano de Techo stadium. Johan Rojas and an own goal from Leonardo Escorcia gave the team led by Alexis García the three points. Gustavo Britos discounted for the visit.

Jorge Luis Pinto’s team thrashed Alianza Petrolera as a visitor and approached the group of eight. Kevin Velasco and a brace from Kevin Viveros sealed the 3-0 win at Daniel Villa Zapata. With 15 units, it is located in box 16, but it is five points behind the eighth: Independiente Santa Fe.

For its part, the Barranquilla team beat Jaguares 1-0 at the Metropolitano stadium and will sleep in the group of eight. At the end of Saturday, Hernán Darío ‘Bolillo’ Gómez’s team is in seventh place with 21 points. In case of winning their matches, Deportes Tolima, Atlético Nacional or Independiente Medellín could surpass Junior.

Santa Fe returned to the league victory after two games. Harold Rivera’s team had a great victory during the week for the Copa Sudamericana and maintained their level to win 3-0 against Atlético Bucaramanga. Jonathan Barboza, José Enamorado and Jersson González scored the goals of the match to put the red-and-white team in the top eight of the tournament.
