First half summary
América de Cali started the first half with intensity, pressure and a lot of dynamics. While Once Caldas waited in their own field and played very passively, the men led by Juan Carlos Osorio showed one of their best versions in the first minutes of the match.
Daniel Hernández, Rodrigo Ureña and Luis Paz were masters and lords of the midfield, perfectly carrying out the plan of pressure and numerical superiority in all sectors of the field. In addition, Hernández was the ideal partner for the attackers.
Although Adrian Ramos had options to put the local team in front, Gerardo Ortíz appeared to save his goal three times. his greatest virtue was being attentive to get out of his arc to shrink and close the shot space to the striker.
Deiner Quiñones, one of the best players in the Californian team in this start of the championship, did not have a great influence on the game. The absence of projection on the part of Pablo Ortíz, who was later injured, condition the game of the winger who had to look for the medium.
Once Caldas reacted to the moment in which their external players, Juan David Pérez and Marcelino Carreazo, helped the wingers who were suffering from the passes behind their backs. Thus, Otálvaro was able to enter the game system and play on the opponent’s field.
