Deportivo Pereira and Independiente Santa Fe faced each other on date 7 of Liga BetPlay 2024 and both teams were going for a victory that would allow them to continue climbing positions.
In the end, the match did not end up being very exciting in terms of scoring opportunities and when it seemed like a goalless draw, a penalty in favor of the local team was decisive for them to win by the slightest difference.
The first 45 minutes between Matecañas and Cardenales were not so intense in attack and there were very few dangerous options for both teams, although little by little the local team came closer with shots from Alejandro Piedrahita, while the visiting team tried with Hugo Rodallega and Jersson González , but they were not good enough to open the scoring.
At the end of the first half the game began to stop and there were several reprimands in both teams, with Juan David Ríos, David Ramírez and Yilmar Velásquez being the ones who were conditioned.
For the second half, a little more intensity was expected from Pereira and Santa Fe, but the dynamic did not change much compared to the first half.
Despite the few options, at times Santa Fe looked better, which tried a little more. Those led by Pablo Peirano even scored a goal from Hugo Rodallega in the 70th minute, but the judge signed a previous foul in the area and the score remained the same.
In the last 15 minutes, Pereira managed to pressure the Santa Fe exit and Carlos Darwin Quintero tried to give another breath to the Matecaña team, but they did not find a clear way to open the scoring.
However, in the 85th minute Marcelo Ortiz committed a foul in the area against Yesus Cabrera, who fell to the ground after a charge without the ball by the Argentine defender.
The judge observed the VAR to clarify the situation and finally it was a penalty in favor of Pereira. The person in charge of scoring was Yesus Cabrera himself, who defined well in the middle of the goal to open the scoring for the local team, shortly after the end of the game.
Towards the end, Santa Fe tried to go to the goal to save a point, but the post denied Daniel Moreno the possibility and there was no more to achieve the result.
This result left Pereira with 13 points and reached four consecutive victories, while Santa Fe was on the verge of leaving the eight by staying with 10 points.
