The blue team took a very quick breath of air. He conjured the pressure of entry. Junior barely settled on the court, he just settled in his lines, with an advantage that he had to defend to the death, but no, he did not. Ditta put her hand where it should not be put, where it is punished. Penalty, nothing to do, nothing to protest. Fernando Uribe, who had not even entered the game, settled the ball and kicked calmly, to one stick, Viera went to the other, total deception and celebration for Millionaires. They were 3 minutes and the coastal advantage, that of their victory in the first leg by 3-2, no longer existed. It was already an anecdote.

Uribe’s celebration against Junior.

Junior was on his knees. Like a boxer whose head is left spinning at the first blow, without knowing if he will be able to get up well or with dizziness. Well, he got up dizzy. He did not manage to see where the ball was going, he did not foresee what new blow his rival was preparing.

Millonarios realized that he had a stunned team in front of him, so he threw the second shot, a center from the right by Ómar Bertel, the ball made the perfect trip to the area where Uribe was waiting again, in a state of lucidity and acrobatics. , he launched himself to meet the ball, with a rare but lethal volley, it hit and Viera only saw the flash pass directly to his net. 2-0. And yes, there were barely 12 minutes and the passage to the final for those Millionaires players was already in their pocket, they could not let them take it out. They were going to leave their souls for her.

But the match did not allow a blink. Junior was expected to react at some point and put the semifinal in the oven. Especially when at 23 minutes Millonarios lost a defender to expulsion. It was Bréiner Paz the one who made a subtle touch to Carmelo Valencia, so subtle that the referee Jorge Tabares It hardly solves looking at the play in the WHERE. Finally he took out the red one. Peace out. So Millonarios had one more goal on aggregate and one man less on the field.

Collateral damage went to Daniel ruiz, who had to go sacrificed so that Juan García could enter and Millonarios could reorganize his defense. It was no longer about fighting above but about biting back. Junior went on the attack, aware that his entire plan had changed, that he no longer had an advantage and that now he had to fight for a tie on the aggregate scoreboard. However, he finished the first erratic time, confused, like a disoriented shark. The boxer had not gotten up.

Junior started the second half with control, as was normal, but without attacking. He played from right to left and from left to right looking to see where he entered the defense of Millonarios, which was armored. So he opted for the middle distance, and that’s how Hinestroza, Cetré, Piedrahita, Didier Moreno tried, and more than once those shots had an effective anti-missile, the goalkeeper Christian Vargas, another protagonist of this classification.

Millionaires kept order and sacrifice until the end. Each player took pains to supply the man of less. Spaces were reduced. And his counterattacks were very dangerous. Thus time was extinguished, in the midst of the despair and helplessness of a toothless shark.

The game ended with the anguish of a Junior who fought the entire game against himself (and against his rivals), and a Millionaires who did not want jokes of fate, who did not want to risk all his effort, his plan, his order.

The final whistle was sweet in the ears of the Millonarios players, who with their arms raised celebrated a long-suffering and fought classification. They climbed the other step and are approaching their longed-for star.
