Although they could not win, Deportivo Cali de Alfredo Arias left good feelings on Thursday night after a 1-1 draw against Medellin in the game that closed the ninth date of the tournament.
The result allowed the green-and-whites to add a point in a difficult place like Atanasio Girardot, against a DIM that also started in 2021 with a good performance.
The verdiblanca squad went up on the scoreboard with a goal from defender Jorge Arias, but the home side managed to equalize the action on the end, despite not being superior.
Already with this page back, the Caleño cast returned to the city to think about their next challenge: tomorrow’s game against the complicated Independent Santa Fe.
The team carried out recovery work this Friday at its headquarters in Pance, and due to the tight schedule, coach Alfredo Arias could move the team to avoid the fatigue of his players.
In midfield, Andrés Colorado would have the opportunity to be an initialist so that Carlos Robles or Jhojan Valencia have a break.
While in the offensive zone, Kevin Velasco and Michell Ramos could oxygenate the team with their speed on the wings.
numerical tranquility
Although it has two consecutive draws, around Esportiu Cali you feel calm for the good numerical moment of the team, which remains the leader of the League with an interesting mark of 21 points out of 27 played.
The Arias squad is also undefeated so far this season, with six wins and three draws.
The match against Santa Fe will be a new test of fire for the greens, who winning would be very close to obtaining their qualification in advance in the championship finals.
The issue of definition is troubling
The only stain that sugar makers still have is definition, a problem that prevented them from taking all three points against the DIM.
This is clear to Alfredo Arias, who expressed in Thursday’s post-match: “Once again we pay for the poor end of plays that we created, many, in the first and second half. working this out because it’s very important. “
However, the Uruguayan is happy with the way his team plays. “The fan has to be happy because this team always comes out on top,” he said.
The game against Santa Fe will be this Sunday at 8:10 pm at the Esportiu Cali stadium.
