Esportiu Cali defeated Águilas Daurades 1-0 this Saturday at the Palmaseca stadium and maintained the lead of the BetPlay I-2021 League with 16 points, on the sixth date of the match.
History repeats itself, the sugar set produces too many goal options, but has no accuracy in the last play. Only in the first half he had 11 shots, most of the possession, but falls back into the same: He lacks definition. And Alfredo Arias will have to solve, so there is in the nursery, the formula to achieve this.
Archer Carlos Bejarano stood out as the figure of the court by avoiding on multiple occasions that the host forwards could pierce his fence. The only one who had the key to the lock was Michell Ramos, who a few minutes from the end of the game took a nice shot with the right to beat the Choco goalkeeper.
This Cali does not elaborate, it does not have the showiness of last season. His shot came in from the right hand side but Jhon Vásquez managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop.
After 7 minutes, Ángelo came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to put away the 1 – 0 goal, giving FC the lead. At 9, the service of Darwin Andrade and managed to deflect the ball to Rodriguez. At 15, great play by Andrés Arroyo, who enabled Jhon Vásquez, but the end could not put the round in the arc of Bejarano.
Early injuries charged the departures of a center for each side: Carlos Ramirez and Jorge Marsiglia before the second third of the first half. The latter had replaced the Uruguayan Hernán Menosse, who also remains in the sugar medical department.
At 32, Ángelo put a cross from the left to the center, where Vásquez was, but the shot of the cartagenero, back in the arc, was included.
Andrade centered again from his side to the right, where Eduard Caicedo arrived, but again the shot was lost by the left post of Bejarano, at 35.
Golden Eagles tried to take away the green dominance-and at 43 appeared with a left-footed shot by John Perez that deflected the goalkeeper Guillem D’Amors to the corner kick, and then Alvaro Angulo went into the area, but was out of place.
At the beginning of the complementary period, Mateu Porta inflated the fence caleña, but there was a review of the VAR to analyze if it was out of place, as the ball came to him after a rebound from Andrade. Referee Keiner Jiménez’s decision was to quash the action.
Coach Alfredo Arias populated the visitors’ area with Marc Pérez and Michell Ramos, and although he obviously increased his approaches, the lack of a goal was confirmed.
Pérez, just entered, received a service from Gómez, but his header was stopped by Bejarano, in the 12th minute. And then he failed in front of the chocoano when he entered the area.
A double shot by Vásquez and Ramos at 22 did not work, when almost the area of Águilas was filled with green shirts. Two minutes later Bejarano again blocked the verdiblanca finish.
With the variants implemented by Hubert Bodhert, the Antiochian set leveled the track and prevented that the premises returned to arm itself in the offensive part.
However, in the 41st minute Michell Ramos eluded Giovanni Martínez and put a tempered right-footed shot at the top of the left vertical that finally beat Bejarano’s resistance, 1-0, just for the superiority of the green-frame.
In times of replacement there was a free kick from the front by the Eagles, but referee Jiménez ended the match, amid the claims of the golden planter.
On the seventh day of the all-against-all, Cali will visit the Boyacá Chicó on Wednesday 17 February (08:10 pm), while the Golden Eagles will receive that same day (4:00 pm) in Envigado.
