After his recent victory against Atlético Nacional, Santa Fe will have to face another Colombian soccer classic and this time it will be against his eternal rival, Millonarios, who is experiencing an important soccer present that has him close to qualifying for home runs.
However, the task of Alfredo Arias against Millonarios will not be easy, because in the last direct matches of the Cardinal team playing at home against Alberto Gamero’s team it has not been easy, since they have not won for three years against his backyard rival.
The last Santafereña local victory
Independiente Santa Fe managed to prevail over Millonarios by Liga BetPlay on September 7, 2019, where the cardenal won by a score of 1-0, thanks to a goal by Maicol Balanta in the first half hour of play and which ended with three vital points. .
Millionaires 0-3 Santa Fe
In the most recent confrontation between cardinals and ambassadors that was on March 3, 2022 for the 10th date of the BetPlay League, Santa Fe was beaten by Millonarios, becoming a sad memory for the Santafereña fans, who saw how their team was knocked down by those of Gamero where Larry Vásquez, Diego Herazo and Edgar Hernández achieved the party as visitors.
Santa Fe 0-2 Millionaires
In the 2021 season of the closing tournament, Millonarios celebrated again in front of the visiting fans thanks to two goals from Andrés Felipe Román and Daniel Giraldo, who celebrated the former’s law in front of his former teammates. At that time, Santa Fe was being directed on an interim basis by Grigori Méndez, who could not lift Santa Fe’s bad moment in that championship.
Santa Fe 1-2 Millionaires
2021 was not the year for the Cardinals, who saw how their backyard rival beat them twice in a row and in the first half, the coach at the time, Harold Rivera, suffered a tough defeat that left him with the possibility of leaving the team for losing the classic with ambassador goals from Jader Valencia and Rafael Márquez. The Santa Fe discount was made by Jhon Velásquez from a penalty at minute 67 and so far, it has been Santa Fe’s last goal at home against Millonarios.
Last tie in the classic
In the 2020 season of the BetPlay League first semester, Santa Fe and Millonarios signed their last tie in the classics, where the ambassadors went up on the scoreboard with Juan Pereira, but managed to tie Jorge Ramos, who ruled the 1- 1 end.
Now, in the next classic on Wednesday, October 5, Independiente Santa Fe hopes to end this losing streak and triumph again in front of their fans to stay in the top eight.
