This is also the third consecutive win for Pedro Sarmientowho has been undefeated since he took over as technical director of the team, replacing Hernan Dario Herrera.
With the clear objective of getting into the group of eight, which in the end he fulfilled, he jumped onto the field on purslane set, who from the start of the game had a greater command of the ball. However, this fact was not reflected in clear scoring opportunities.

Given this scenario, the middle distance seemed the best alternative to do damage. aware of it Dorlan Pabón and Jefferson Duque they tried it a couple of times, but their shots were controlled with relative ease by the goalkeeper Geovanni Banguera.
Crosses from the flanks into the area appeared as another option to break the opponent’s strong defensive scheme, but these did not bear fruit either.

Duke does not fail
