Atlético Nacional receives Junior at the Atanasio Girardot with the idea of turning around the series that it lost 3-0 and qualifying for the semifinals of the Betplay Cup, of which it is the reigning champion.
Few times the green club came with three or more goals once morest in a round trip series at their stadium. However, there are two pleasant memories in which, although the Antioquia team fell on penalties, they managed to equalize the key in their stadium, which invites us to get excited. In the League final in the second half of 2004, Junior also won 3-0 at the Metropolitano, but at home to Nacional he put on an epic performance and scored five goals. The match ended 5-2 for a 5-5 aggregate that forced penalties.
The other memory was in 2010 for the Colombia Cup when Águilas Doradas beat the purslane team 4-0 in the first leg, which at that time was led by José Fernando Santa. In the National round they won 5-1, to once once more obtain a 5-5 aggregate that forced them to define the series from the penalty spot. These two antecedents serve to motivate a new comeback.
