“It should be noted that the institution’s leadership established direct communication with the DIMAYOR Presidency on Friday when evaluating the situation in Montería, to agree on the best decisions for those involved in the party, receiving a negative response from the Dimayor who not only refused to postpone the date, but also, Jaguares FC did not accept the change of venue to be able to play the match today, as scheduled”.

“The entity argues that both the local authorities and the Metropolitan Police are committed to providing the guarantees to hold the event and made available to the club today, before the official response, a charter flight to transfer the institution’s delegation from Medellín to the airport located in Cereté, Córdoba. However, we file the formal request for postponement as indicated by the regular channel, indicating the reasons for it. Among others, we state that the routes from the airport and to the Jaraguay stadium are land-based. and outside the urban area, which represents a risk to the integrity of the club’s employees”.

“We regret the decision that weighs the development of the tournament, therefore, we directed a new request to DIMAYOR to reconsider the decision, to which we again received a negative response, without justification for such decision.”

After the victory of Jaguares was decreed, Acolfutpro spoke and stated:

“For the president of @Dimayor @F_JaramilloG, institutionality prevails over reality and despite the fact that there were no guarantees to protect soccer players, logistics personnel, @WinSportsTV personnel and fans, he maintained the match @JaguaresdeCord vs @DIM_Oficia”.

Jaguars win?

On the night of this Saturday, Jaguares arrived at the stadium for the match, despite the fact that they did not have a rival in front.

Montería authorities announced that all guarantees were in place for the match to be played.

Thus, and pending a statement from Dimayor, Jaguares would win the match by W.

If this is confirmed, the result will be 3-0, which will have implications in the table, where the Jaguares team is in the fight for the home run classification.
