DIM with better options in the first time

Marlos Moreno tried from mid-range, but his shot went wide.

One of the clearest of the first half was for DIM. At minute 23, Jarlan Barrera took a mid-range shot that was saved by goalkeeper David Ospina, leaving a rebound, which was taken advantage of by Brayan León He shot but again the goalkeeper responded. Minutes later the one who tried it was Leyser Chaverra.

Nacional improves and matches the game
