Águilas confirmed their classification for home runs, after a great campaign under the command of Leonel Álvarez, which leaves them, for the moment, as leaders of the championship. Envigado tried, he was scared and he looked for it until the end, but Jhon Fredy Salazar’s penalty goal secured the three points.
From the outset, Envigado tried with the middle distance, a shot by Zapata, which goalkeeper Contreras contained. Salazar answered for the locals, at minute 8, in another shot from outside the area. The intentions were leaning towards Águilas, with Pérez in a corner kick.
An open game, with clear chances at the start, but the locals began to press and squeeze Envigado in his goal, complicating the field that was fast. Zapata tried again at minute 27, in an incursion down the right wing of the Águilas defense
At minute 37, Marco Pérez had a clear scoring action, after a measured pass, from the edge of Salazar’s area. The attacker finished off and goalkeeper Parra saved it. Play followed in a corner kick and the number 18 of the locals had it in a header, which was deflected from the orange goal.
Marco Pérez returned favors, in a fortuitous action by the striker. He attacked the space, an unorthodox pass to Puerta, who unbelievably missed the action facing Envigado’s goal. The start of the second half was for Álvarez’s men, who pushed to achieve the goal, which gave them peace of mind.
It was until the 77th minute, when the central sanctioned a penalty in favor of the locals. The person in charge of taking the shot was Jhon Fredy Salazar, with a shot to the center of the goal, powerful and safe.
With the victory, Águilas Doradas was ratified as the leader of the championship and the classification for home runs. 32 units, ensuring their presence in finals. He will close the championship against Cortuluá. Meanwhile, Envigado resigned options for the last date and will finish 2022 against Tolima.
