This Monday the curtain was lowered on date 17 of the Betplay League I-2023, a day in which a total of 23 goals were recorded, six locals won and only two 0-0 games were recorded. The classics of the date did not disappoint: four goals in Medellín and seven in Cali.
Although Millonarios was able to qualify on this day, the result was not given in Barranquilla. Águilas Doradas, who achieved it on the previous date, continues to be the only one installed in the Semifinals. There are several news in the group of eight: Junior got in and Medellín walked away.
FUTBOLRED tells you in summary what happened this weekend. He knows how the panorama turned out in the group of eight with three days to go and a couple of pending duels in the regular phase. Águilas, Alianza Petrolera and Boyacá Chicó cling to the group and promise to leave out some of the greats.
The good
Santa Fe won and got into the eight: Hugo Rodallega and Jhojan Torres gave Harold Rivera’s team the victory at El Campín. A key result to settle among the eight. The good goal difference will allow them to reach the next date in eighth place, although with the same points as Pasto, which is ninth.
Alianza Petrolera and Boyacá Chicó join and cling to the group: The aurinegros beat the league leader in Barrancabermeja, reaching 27 points. Boyacá Chicó added but lost ground after the victory of América; fell to the fifth box. They keep adding to stay in the qualifying zone.
Nacional stayed with the classic and is in the conversation: In a night of brilliance, Jefferson Duque scored a double and an assist for Tomás Ángel in the victory against Medellín. The purslane team seemed to clear up doubts in the classic and settled among the eight. He took his backyard rival out of ‘taquito’, who is now tenth. Nacional climbed to the sixth box.
Junior beat Millionaires and fights: Luis ‘Chino’ Sandoval’s solitary goal was enough for the rojiblanco to keep the points, end an important unbeaten albiazul and get fully into the group. After fighting in the basement of the table, ‘Bolillo’ Gómez brought the shark back to life and now they are excited about the Home Runs. They march seventh with 24 points.
América-Cali, a classic full of goals and good football: Great game at Pascual! The classic from Cali could not be tied and after a duel, one on one, the reds won 5-2. They were forceful and took advantage of every space. Double by Cristian Barrios, great goal by Iago Falque and scores by Carlos Darwin Quintero and Andrés Sarmiento. They are excited not only to qualify but also to fight to be the head of the group.
The bad
Águilas deflated on a visit: Lucas González’s team did not have its best presentation during their visit to the Alianza Petrolera and fell after five rounds (four of them victories). Despite the setbacks, they remained at the top of the table, with a 3-point difference over Millonarios.
Millionaires lost undefeated and postponed classification: Alberto Gamero’s team failed to score on their visit to Junior and fell after ten games. He conceded his second defeat of the semester after losing to Once Caldas on date 6. The albiazul lost the possibility of qualifying early but he has five games left to do so and fight for the lead.
Medellín gave advantages and moved away from the group: David González’s team fell 1-3 against Nacional and lost ground in the table. The defeat in the classic was a “cold water bucket” because they came from three wins in a row and wanted to reserve a place among the eight. They are now tenth, one point behind eighth.
The champion Pereira did not react and dismissed his options: The matecaña lost to La Equidad, with goals from David Camacho and José David Lloreda. He reached four games without knowing a victory and completely pushed away the possibility of entering the Quadrangulars.
Once Caldas continues to sink in the table: The ‘Blanco-Blanco’ scratched a point in Montería but at the last minute Bréiner de Alba gave the victory to Jaguares. Pedro Sarmiento’s team is dying at the bottom of the table and its situation in relegation is also worrying. He reached eight losses in the semester.
the ugly
Violence in the classics of Medellín and Cali: Once again, Colombian soccer was stained by reprehensible acts of violence. In Medellín there was a pitched battle between DIM and Nacional fans, which left two dead and more than 14 injured. In Cali, América fans attacked a motorcyclist for wearing a rival team’s shirt.
