Key moments:
10′ Goal by Cortuluá! Collective play that ended in a center by Guisao for Rojas, who received without a mark, controlled his chest and defined with his left leg.
30′ Union Magdalena searched. Chavez free kick, but Hernandez was attentive and controlled without problems.
49 & # 39; Union was close to the draw. Great cross from Cantillo to Chávez, who, alone in front of the goalkeeper, could not finish and Hernández kept the ball.
70′ Goal by Union Magdalena! The referee whistled for a penalty and Márquez changed it for a goal with a powerful shot to the center of the goal.
78 & # 39; Save! Cortuluá looked for the second goal with a header from Millán, but Bejarano flew to prevent it.
81′ Goal by Union Magdalena! Great pass from Vacca to Márquez, who controlled and, with the mark of two rivals, defined with a cross shot.
Match Development:
Unión Magdalena came from behind Cortuluá, beating him 1-2 and remaining second in the table, a very different scenario from that of the ‘heart’ team, which is penultimate.
The local team took the lead very quickly, just 10 minutes after the initial whistle, Henry Rojas already had the team led by César Torres celebrating.
However, the left-hander’s goal was the best of the first half, since from then on the game lacked dynamism and the teams were short of ideas.
In the second half the match took on more continuity with a more incisive and proactive Union Magdalena that found the tie with a penalty from Ricardo Márquez, who later, almost in the final stretch, reappeared to be the protagonist in the comeback of the ‘ banana cyclone’.
With this result, Cortuluá continues with 6 points and on date 12 will visit Envigado, while Unión Magdalena reached 21 units and will host Jaguares.
