Minuto30.com .- Deportivo Independiente Medellín (DIM) achieved a crucial victory this Wednesday at the Atanasio Girardot by defeating Patriotas 3-0, staying alive in its quest to enter the top eight places in the BetPlay II 2024 League.
The match, although with a large advantage for the local team, showed some statistics that reflect the effort of both teams, but also the difficulties that the “Popoderoso” faced in certain phases of the game.
Mastery in possession and finishing
Medellín, as expected, was the dominant team for much of the match. Possession of the ball slightly favored DIM (53%), while Patriotas registered 47% possession, which indicates that the visiting team was a rival that, although it was not so inferior, did not manage to impose its offensive game either.
In terms of total shots, Medellín added 12, while Patriotas made 10. However, the key difference was in shots on goal, where DIM had a clear advantage with 7 direct shots on goal, to only 1 for Patriotas. This data reflects a clear superiority in the home team’s offense and the effectiveness of their plays, in addition to the difficulty of Patriotas in generating dangerous plays in front of the rival goal.
Offensive efficiency
Medellín took advantage of its superiority on the field to score three goals. The first goal came early, in the 27th minute, through Leyser Chaverra, who safely converted a penalty. In the second half, in the 52nd minute, John Edwin Montaño scored a great goal that calmed the fans and sealed the local dominance. Finally, Jherson Mosquera, in the 77th minute, sealed the victory with a goal that gave even more clarity to the score. DIM’s effectiveness, with 3 goals from 7 shots on goal, was decisive in the final result.
Match control and discipline
Medellín showed control over the game in terms of the number of fouls committed, with 10 infractions compared to Patriotas’ 7. Although it was not an excessively violent match, the difference in fouls shows how the visitors could not maintain the pace of the home team’s game, which led them to commit some unnecessary fouls.
Regarding yellow cards, Medellín only saw one, while Patriotas received two, which reflects greater discipline on the part of the Paisa team and a certain frustration on the part of the visitors due to the pressure exerted by the DIM.
Deficiency in set pieces
Despite the superiority in the general game, Medellín had difficulties in corner kicks, since they only executed 2, compared to Patriotas’ 8. This indicates that the visiting team managed to generate more set pieces, but did not know how to capitalize on them. DIM, for its part, although it did not take advantage of many corners, showed greater efficiency in open play and in the completion of its plays.
Conclusion
The final 3-0 was a reflection of Medellín’s superiority on the field. Although Patriotas struggled during the match, their lack of offensive effectiveness and the home team’s dominance in the first half allowed the “Poderoso” to take a crucial victory in their fight to get into the top eight. The goals from Chaverra, Montaño and Mosquera keep DIM alive in the BetPlay League, which will seek to continue adding in the remaining dates to achieve its classification at eight.
With good effectiveness in shots on goal, control of the game and a solid defense, Medellín showed that it is willing to fight until the end for a place in the next phase of the tournament.
Medellín in the standings
Once the match is over on date 17, DIM is in 9th place with 25 points, one less than Junior, who is eighth in the standings, which is led by América.
Patriotas is in 15th place with 17 points.

**Interview with Sports Analyst Maria Torres on Medellín’s Victory Over Patriotas**
**Interviewer:** Welcome, Maria! Thanks for joining us today to discuss Deportivo Independiente Medellín’s recent 3-0 triumph over Patriotas. What were your initial impressions of the match?
**Maria Torres:** Thank you for having me! It was an impressive performance by Medellín. They showcased their dominance on the pitch, particularly in terms of controlling possession and creating goal-scoring opportunities. It’s clear they are serious about breaking into the top eight positions in the league.
**Interviewer:** Indeed, you mentioned control and possession. Medellín had 53% possession compared to 47% for Patriotas. How significant was that during the match?
**Maria Torres:** Possession is crucial, especially when a team can convert that control into scoring chances. Medellín’s slight edge in possession allowed them to dictate the pace of the game and keep pressure on Patriotas. The stats show that while both teams had a similar number of total shots, Medellín’s ability to convert those to shots on goal played a key role in their victory.
**Interviewer:** You pointed out the effectiveness of Medellín’s offense, with three goals from seven shots on goal. Can you break down how they were able to be so efficient?
**Maria Torres:** Certainly! Medellín was able to capitalize on their opportunities. Leyser Chaverra’s penalty gave them the early lead, which set the tone for the match. By scoring again through John Edwin Montaño early in the second half, they effectively put the game out of reach for Patriotas. Jherson Mosquera’s goal later on was just the icing on the cake, showcasing their confidence and ability to maintain pressure on the opposition.
**Interviewer:** Discipline can often be a decisive factor in matches. How did both teams handle their fouls and cards?
**Maria Torres:** That’s an interesting aspect! Medellín was disciplined with only one yellow card, while Patriotas received two. The difference in fouls indicates that Medellín was more successful in maintaining control over the game’s physicality. It shows how Patriotas struggled to keep up, leading them to commit unnecessary fouls, which only amplified their frustration throughout the match.
**Interviewer:** As we look ahead, what can we expect from Medellín as they aim for a spot in the top eight in the BetPlay II Liga?
**Maria Torres:** If they continue to play with this level of effectiveness and discipline, they have a very good chance of making it to the top eight. Consistency will be key. They need to build on this momentum, maintain their offensive efficiency, and keep working on their game management. If they can do that, I believe they’re well on their way to securing a playoff position.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Maria, for your insights! It sounds like an exciting time for Medellín fans.
**Maria Torres:** Absolutely! Exciting times lie ahead, and I’m looking forward to seeing how they progress in the league. Thank you for having me!
