In a match in which it started well and then fell apart, Deportivo Cali was closer to securing itself in the quarterfinals of the 2020 BetPlay League by drawing 1-1 this Sunday at Once Caldas at the Palogrande Stadium, in Manizales, with which he accumulated 31 points.
The Verdiblanco team imposed their best game against an opponent who had 6 casualties due to covid-19 infection, although in the development of the match it complicated it a lot and made goalkeeper David González an outstanding player. The ‘sugar producers’ had a second half to be forgotten and practically disappeared in offense against a rival who grew up with the variations made.
Jhon Vásquez’s goals on the 26th minute of the first half and a penalty taken by Dairo Moreno at 24 of the complement sealed the result of a compromise in which the local finished better and got into visiting territory.
It was played on a court full of small lagoons, the product of a heavy downpour that fell an hour before and remained like drizzle in Manizales.
Cali approached in minute 3 with a shot from Angelo that goalkeeper Sergio Román took off the left post. Afterwards, the actions favored the Eleven: Minute 6 was missed by Menosse at the start, he won the ball Dairo crossed Ovelar who finished off and David González made a great save. At 22 he returned to save in another heads up in the area.
The advantage goal for the visitor came when, in a beautiful collective play, Deiber Caicedo handed the ball to Ángelo Rodríguez, who turned his back to the goal and handed Vásquez grimera and defeated Román with his left foot at the first post at 26 to the 0-1.
Later, Pablo Rojas did it, although González confirmed his great performance with another save. Eleven returned to approach 39 and again González saved a shot from medium distance.
In the second half the teams went out with the intention of looking for the opposite goal. At 10 minutes David Gómez fell into contact with Kevin Velasco, referee John Ospina did not give the foul, but they called him to review the VAR, maintaining his decision.
Dairo had a frontal free kick to seek parity, but his charge went above the horizontal at 18.
To complete the bad luck in the white cast, at 21 Paraguayan Roberto Ovelar went looking for a ball and suffered a jerk, giving way to Ménder García.
Vásquez received a cross from Juan Camilo Angulo and Vásquez could not finish with a header at 23, when Gómez took him on the corner kick. That was almost one of the last approaches to Roman’s portico.
On the 24th minute, Menosse took David Lemos lightly by the shirt and the referee Ospina gave a penalty, Dairo Moreno charged the right post, deceiving González, and converted the tie for Once.
At 46, Arrieta almost converted the second goal to a pass from Menosse, but Alba’s defense evacuated to the corner kick. Ménder García could also do it in a center that did not have a receiver.
On date 19, Cali will receive Envigado on Wednesday, November 11 (2:00 pm), while Once Caldas will visit Pasto on Thursday 12 (6:00 pm).
