América de Cali fell on their visit to Millonarios and was left without a chance to qualify for the final of the Betplay League

América de Cali was eliminated from the League finals after losing 1-2 to Millonarios in the game of the fourth date of the semifinal home runs that took place on Saturday night at El Campín. Adrián Ramos opened the scoring (41′), while Fernando Uribe (44′) and Daniel Cataño (83′) scored the goals of the capital’s victory.

The cast guided by Alexandre Guimaraes arrived with the need to add in the capital of the Republic to preserve chances of continuing with aspirations of advancing to the final and recovering ceded ground, after the defeat suffered in the middle of the week at Pascual Guerrero against the same rival.

For this reason, his proposal was to go out and put pressure on Millonarios in their own field and with fast men attack the spaces left by the local defensive zone.

The first risky arrival for the reds occurred just after the start of the game. At minute 2, Carlos Darwin Quintero received a ball inside the area and when he was getting his shot ready, the ball got tangled and he squandered a clear chance to score.

América had personality in the first minutes and took possession of the ball. In minute 10 a new approach was presented for the ‘red devils’. A pass to the area for Facundo Suárez who anticipated his marker, dotted the ball and the shot crashed into the post of the goal guarded by Álvaro Montero.

Millonarios began to shake off the ‘scarlet’ dominance and his first arrival at Diego Novoa’s goal was recorded at minute 15. A mid-range shot was deflected into a corner kick by the American goalkeeper.

Andrés Sarmiento was injured (23 ‘) to give way to Adrián Ramos, who was the protagonist before finishing the initial part.

The game went back and forth, with teams that opted for the long game and quick transitions to hurt the opponent.

The clearest chance to score for the capital team came at 41′. A play on the right side where Macallister Silva enabled Beckham David Castro, who in an incredible way missed it under the red arc.

The opening of the scoring came in that same minute. A ball between the lines for Ramos, he gained speed and his shot allowed the ball to go through Montero’s post.

Millionaires did not want to go at halftime below the result and in the 44th minute he reached the tie with a header from Fernando Uribe, after a shot from Beckham David that crashed against the crossbar.

In the complementary part, América came out to press in the first section and then was cautious waiting for the locals in their own field.

America tried to attack, but the physical part did not allow him to be as effective as he did in the first half.

Millionaires turned the score around at 83′. Pass to the area that Daniel Cataño defined in a great way for the final 2-1.

Alberto Gamero’s cast reached 10 points and very close to qualifying. Chicó is an escort with 5 units and the only team that can fight for the place in the final.

América, with 4 points, and DIM, with 2, are already eliminated.
