Atlético Junior did his homework and, on a magical afternoon for Luis ‘Cariaco’ González, defeated Deportivo Pasto 2-1. Arturo Reyes’ team approached the classification by reaching 28 points in the table.
In a strategic and intense first half in the Metropolitan Stadium of Barranquilla, the shark team was the first to celebrate, thanks to the Venezuelan ’10’, who, in the 37th minute, took charge of a bad clearance in the defense area volcanic and with a powerful left foot, at mid-height, he opened the account in the capital of the Atlantic.
The goal of ‘Cariaco’ González was just a sigh for those led by Reyes, since, two minutes later, the goal of the tie for the Nariño team arrived. Kevin Rendón captured a rebound outside the area and with an overhead shot he beat Sebastián Viera, who had no reaction and saw how the ball touched the bottom of the net.
In the second half, the changes paid off for the rojiblanco team. Reyes took Ferlys García out in the 55th minute and gave way to Carmelo Valencia, who returned to the courts after recovering from an injury.
Precisely, it was the veteran striker at the service of Junior who was in charge of putting the Barranquilleros ahead, after receiving an exquisite assistance from ‘Cariaco’, who put the ‘ball like with his hand’, to get a shot from head and score the second goal of the match.
With the Venezuelan González as the great figure of the match, Junior achieved an important victory in the League and was close to the classification. The shark reached 28 units and is fifth overall. On the other hand, Deportivo Pasto registered a new defeat in the competition and has 15 points in 17 games played.
