Once Caldas had a complicated match against Alianza Petrolera, at the end of date 19 of the BetPlay II-2022 League. In his last home game in the ‘all against all’, he was enough to get into the top eight in the standings, but he couldn’t win: it was 1-1 at Palogrande.
In fact, he suffered more than necessary, because at 9 minutes Leonardo Saldaña scored the 0-1 for Alianza, complicating Eleven. And although he had soccer shortcomings in the first half, he improved as the minutes went by and made him want not to lose.
Starting the second half, at 51 minutes, a quiet ball play was left to Fáiner Torijano, who tied 1-1 for the Manizales team.
From that moment on, on muddy ground, they tried to go for the comeback and add the three points at home, but they were prey to anxiety and could not score the expected winning goal.
With 30 points, Once Caldas is fifth in League II, and will define their classification in Bogotá, when they visit Santa Fe on the last day.
