Santa Fe he left behind one of his ghosts, the departure of Michael Rangel, and again showed his strength in El Campín, where more than a year ago it does not lose as a local. The last defeat was on August 22, 2019, against America.
There are already 24 games in which the reds met with the points in their pocket, this time, defeating 1-0 in patriots, who started the game with a lot of enthusiasm and faded with the passing of the minutes.

The only goal of the match was scored by a former Patriots player, who had just arrived at the cardinal’s house: Jhon Arias Carlos Mosquera was caught napping as Johan Cavaller lifted a ball over him following a free kick, but the ball hit the bar, rebounding into the keeper’s arms.
Santa Fe, we said, left behind the ghost of the departure of his ‘9’, thanks to its collective functioning, with the sacrifice of Jorge Luis Ramos, the man who, on paper, went as the tip of spear, and with the arrival of the ends and sides. Thus it was able to extinguish the impulse of Patriots, that at the outset had demanded it enough but that little by little was left without air and without soccer, especially, after the Spanish DT Abel Segovia removed to Santiago Orozco, the best player on your team.

If Rangel’s ghost is going away, there’s another one that, if neglected, can bring him headaches in Santa Fe: that of the wrong penalties. In the 66th minute, the referee Mario Herrera sanctioned an alleged foul by Héctor Solano on Arias, which, at least on television, was not so clear. Fáiner Torijano charged down the left and had a wonderful opportunity to score the equalizer for Carlos Mosquera, but the shot went well wide of the goal.
It is the second penalty Santa Santa has failed this year. Rangel, before leaving, threw the first against Nacional in Medellin, in the first day.

Santa Fe did not pass major shocks to increase its undefeated at home and remain tucked in the top batch. He even had a second goal, scored by Daniel Giraldo, in a play invalidated by offside. At least for the local tournament, the team led by Harold Rivera shows he has something to fight with.
