With the law of the ex: Andrés Cadavid gives the 'Poderosa' victory to Medellin against Millonarios

Despite the defeat, the Bogota squad maintains the lead in the Liga Betplay Dimayor

Guardar

Deportivo Independiente Medellín received Millonarios at Atanasio Girardot, the current leader who arrived with seven games without knowing the defeat in the Dimayor Betplay League. Similarly, those led by Julio Avelino Comesaña came from beating America 3-1 at Pascual Guerrero and wanted to add their sixth consecutive victory at home.

For its part, the capital's team arrived with air in the jersey after winning the slightest difference on the date before Once Caldas in the Nemesio Camacho El Campín with a score by Daniel Ruíz.

In addition, Alberto Gamero's team had three matches per league without scoring goals, and they were looking to keep their fence undefeated against the 'Mighty of the Mountain'. For this duel, Millonarios did not count on his starting goalkeeper Álvaro Montero who is concentrated with the Colombia National Team, nor did he count on Juan Pablo Vargas who is with the Costa Rican national team.

The 'Red of the Mountain' could not count for this match with the Argentine midfielder Adrián Arregui due to accumulation of yellow cards, neither Vladimir Hernández nor his scorer Luciano Pons due to physical discomfort.

At the start of the match, Medellín overran Millonarios and in the three minutes David Loaiza intercepted a pass from Larry Vásquez to José Cuenú that was allowed to be anticipated by Dibier Cambindo who advanced to the albiazul area and caused a foul by Juan Moreno that the judge did not hesitate to point out as a criminal.

The law of the former would be present at Atanasio Girardot after the scoring of the maximum penalty of Andrés Cadavid who shot left-handed to the left post impossible to save for Juan Moreno who guessed the trajectory of the ball.

The local eleventh did not take his foot off the accelerator and was close to expanding the count to 8 minutes through Dibier Cambindo, but the score was canceled due to the forward position of the Medellín attacker.

In the 11 minutes Jader Valencia went hand in hand with Mosquera Marmolejo who fouled the striker for which he received a yellow card. However, John Alexander Ospina changed his decision after reviewing the VAR, considering that the Millonarios player was the last man for which he expelled the goalkeeper.

Millionarios came close to the draw after a free-kick shot by Elvis Perlaza that crashed into the pole after 18 minutes. Once again, he approached the goal of DIM, after a combination between Sosa and Celis that was face to face with Luis Vasquez who intervened in two halves to prevent the fall of his portico.

The Bogotans would again generate risk on Vásquez's goal after a quick start in which they took Medellin badly, but Daniel Ruíz's shot on the left was quietly controlled by the cancerbero of the Paisa cast.

In the second half Gamero moved the bench of substitutes by sending Diego Herazo to the pitch by Richard Celis and Edgar Guerra by Eduardo Sosa. It should be noted that before finishing the first half, David Macalister Silva entered for José Cuenú.

However, the variants did not have an effect on Millonarios who lost prominence which allowed Medellin to be better planted on the pitch. In the 74 minutes Ricardo Márquez shot right after a pass from Daniel Ruiz, but Vasquez saves DIM providentially.

At 83 in the game, Macalister Silva leaked a ball for Marquez who at the head missed a very clear goal option for Millonarios to reach equality.

With this triumph, Medellin rises to fourth place with 21 points while Millonarios maintains the lead with 26 points. On the next date the DIM will visit Deportivo Pereira and Millonarios will receive the Junior of Barranquilla in the capital of the republic.
