Deportivo Cali fell 0-1 at the end of the game this Friday with Jaguares at the Jaraguay Stadium, in Montería, and remained fourth in the BetPlay II-2021 League with 30 points, almost classified to the home runs due to their goal difference of + 6, although he will have to beat Once Caldas in Palmaseca on the last day to avoid surprises. The novelty is that the Cordovan cast is now eighth with 27 units and will obtain the quota if it beats Patriotas in Tunja.
The ‘feline’ team had sent the ball to the back of the net with a header from Iván Scarpetta 36 minutes into the second half, but after reviewing the VAR the referee Edilson Ariza invalidated the action by the hand of Héctor Urrego. However, Andrés Renteria was present at 44 to give his team victory.
It was a moved game from the first substitution, played in both areas, although it lacked definition. One of the good news of the meeting was the return of defender Jorge Arias, who had not acted since April 10 due to a delicate injury. This time he made up three centrals, alongside Jorge Marsiglia and José Caldera, while Juan Camilo Angulo and Darwin Andrade were as laterals.
The local arrived at the beginning on two occasions on the wings, with Pablo Rojas and Israel Alba, although they could not finish off the goal of Guillermo De Amores.
Harold Preciado tried to surprise the 14th with a cross shot from the left, but the ball was left in the hands of goalkeeper Pablo Mina.
A center from Alba made De Amores stretch with a punch at 16.
Preciado reappeared at 24 on the left, but did not share the ball and they took it from the corner kick.
Jhon Vásquez had an approach at 31, although he lacked power in the shot and Mina stopped without problem.
After the second third of the initial stage, the host team settled down better and made Cali lie down on their defensive sector. The visitor sinned in the generation and definition, feeling the absence of Teófilo Gutiérrez, suspended due to the accumulation of yellows.
Balanta shot at 43, but De Amores was well standing on the right post. Jhon Vásquez responded immediately with a left-footed shot that was on his way to the net, but Héctor Urrego saved his team almost on the line.
At 2 minutes into the second half, Preciado received a service from the left, but again he finished off at the hands of Mina.
Jaguares reached 10, 11 and 12, but he also had no precision to score, the last two with Andrés Renteria.
Andrés Colorado and Kevin Velasco entered Cali for Andrés Balanta and Michael Ortega at 13. Preciado also shot over the crossbar at 14 from Velasco.
Héctor Urrego was cautioned at 17 and almost immediately José Caldera headed wide in the area. Preciado also had a chalaca that went far from the right post at 19.
Caldera received yellow at 22 for a foul on Pablo Rojas. Kevin Velasco also rehearsed left-handed, but uncomfortable, and Mina controlled the ball.
Fabián Mosquera came in for César Carrillo at 24. So did Luis Chiquillo and José Lloreda for Nelino Tapia and Yulián Anchico at 32.
Ángelo Rodríguez entered for Jhon Vásquez at 28 and Daniel Luna for Harold Preciado at 35. Jorge Marsiglia also saw the yellow at 35.
But in a charge from the right, Israel Alba raised the ball to the area and Iván Scarpetta headed the ball, the ball hit Caldera and beat De Amores for 1-0, at 36. However, they called referee Edilson Ariza to check the VAR and annulled the play by the hand of Héctor Urrego.
Jhojan Valencia had received yellow at 42 minutes, but he fouled Fabián Mosquera again and was sent off at 44.
At 44 Pablo Rojas put a ball into the area between Lloreda and Andrés Renteria, but the latter defined through Guillermo de Amores’ legs for 1-0.
On date 20, Cali will host Once Caldas, while Jaguares will visit the eliminated Patriotas.
