It will be played on March 29 and Daniel Cataño will be there, but other figures will miss the game.
The match Sports Tolima vs. Millionaires could not play last Sunday, February 12, due to an event that still outrages Colombian soccer: a pijao fan invaded the playing field and attacked Daniel Cataño, former Tolima and current ’10’ of the ambassador.
The player was expelled, since he returned the aggression; The game was suspended and now Dimayor decided that it will be played yes or yes, since the punishments will be disciplinary and the points will not be awarded to any of the clubs involved: they will be played on the pitch, for 90 minutes.
The match was rescheduled for Wednesday, March 29, at 8 pm, and it is not yet known if it will be played behind closed doors or with the public at the Manuel Murillo Toro stadium, in Ibagué.
However, Millonarios runs the risk of losing more than necessary to get to that match, due to the date on which Dimayor arranged to play it.
Alberto Gamero hopes to have Daniel Cataño at that time, who will surely receive a sanction when he is sent off but will surely not be so great in the competition. However, he could lose several figures.
It turns out that between March 24 and 28 the teams will meet to play friendly matches on the FIFA date. Colombia, for example, will tour Asia to face South Korea (March 24) and Japan (March 28); For that call, the coach Néstor Lorenzo could call Álvaro Montero or Andrés Llinás -or both-.
For its part, Costa Rica will face Martinique and Panama for the Concacaf Nations League, and Juan Pablo Vargas would be summoned.
Thus, Millos will hope that the FIFA date will not harm him, since he would arrive at the match against Tolima at a clear disadvantage and without several of his references.
