The rain in the Aburrá valley was not an impediment to a day of soccer at the Atanasio Girardot. Despite the torrential rain, the field responded so that Medellín and Equidad put on a great show on it. Finally, Vladimir Hernández put the joy for the powerful and his fans. Triumph 2 to 0.
Medellín and Equidad knew of the party’s obligation. Tolima started winning and could not grant advantages, to keep track of those from Ibagué. From the outset, a lot of friction and pause, the court invited the plays to go long, to take advantage of the speed of the attacking players.
Everything changed for the locals, who little by little began to press and get rid of the visiting attempts. Vladimir Hernández took advantage of the space in the middle of the court, surprising everyone, as the Araucanian started celebrating everyone at the Atanasio Girardot, after defeating Washington Ortega.
The attempts of the locals began to arrive regularly. Ponds was fundamental, to open the field on the wings, in this way, the powerful man managed to gain possession of the ball. Equidad began to fall behind in the field, to protect himself from a possible second goal, without much reaction in the attack other than the transitions in speed.
The start of the second half was everything for the powerful. Intention to increase the marker from the start. The insistence allowed Equidad to start pressing high, leaving spaces for the locals to take advantage of. And so it was, Vladimir Hernández arrived at speed and scored another great goal, hitting the ball over Ortega, to increase the score at Atanasio.
Despite the attempts of the visit, there was no clarity in players like Sabbah and Chaverra, who always tried to play up front, in order to discount the score. The siege in the middle of the field and in each attempt of the Bogotans, by the rojiazules, was evident, not leaving them a meter of advantage to progress. On defense, Cadavid and Moreno looked more than confident, taking turns blocking Sabbag.
On the next date, Medellín will be visiting Medellín, a match scheduled for Wednesday, June 1. For its part, Equidad will receive Envigado at the Techo stadium.
