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 volcanic defense area and with a powerful left foot, at mid-height, 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.
Beating from Cali to Huila in Neiva
For its part, Deportivo Cali crushed the already relegated Atlético Huila: they beat them 0-5 in Neiva, in the biggest win of the current championship. The team led by Rafael Dudamel reached 27 points and squared their goal difference.
Andrés Colorado was the great figure of the night, scoring the first and third, at 10 and 45 minutes, and putting the fourth to Ángelo Rodríguez, at 76. The other goals were from Teófilo Gutiérrez, at 13, and Hárold Preciado, at 83.
America gives in at home
América de Cali drew 1-1 this Sunday at the Pascual Guerrero Stadium against Alianza Petrolera for the 16 date of the BetPlay II-2021 League, and not only missed the opportunity to partially get into the eight, but also put his classification to home runs.
Out of 27 points in the San Fernando scene, the ‘devils’ have only achieved 12, which represents a performance of 44.4% and the reason why they are still living their own hell.

America ended depending on the blow, but the centrals Jaider Riquett and Carlos Pérez were decisive to prevent the ball from entering Chunga’s fence.
In the midst of despair, time was consumed and America was left with the dismay of having yielded more points and now yes the obligation to win the three games that are missing.
