La arenosa is the birthplace of football, not only for Junior, it is home to the National Team. On this occasion, it will open its doors for two foreigners. America will play home against Millonarios at the Romelio Martínez stadium, that one full of history from yesteryear, now, completely remodeled. The duel between Cali will open zone B for the home runs that will define the finalists.

As America’s home team, they won in the duel played in the first semester, with a score of 2 to 1.
