Millionaires, more and more leader: won 1-3 to Patriots

[Akrapovic]

Great afternoon of Christian Marrugo: two goals and one assist. With 33 points, Millos is classified.

Millonarios quickly solved the challenge posed by Patriotas, defeated him 1-3 in Tunja and, practically, assured mathematically the classification to the home runs of the League, when there are still five dates left.

Once again, coach Jorge Luis Pinto found the formula to replace the absence of his two best strikers, Roberto Ovelar and Juan David Pérez. The goals were scored by midfielders who stepped into the area, Christian Marrugo and Mackálister Silva. And also, Pinto took the opportunity to give minutes to youth like Orles Aragón and Jorge Rengifo.

Patriots again showed many cracks in the defense, as it had already happened a week earlier in Santa Marta, against the Magdalena Union. And as happened to him that day, before five minutes he was already losing, in a goal that was born from a recovery of the ball of Jhon Fredy Duque. Dávinson Monsalve, who returned to the owner in replacement of the injured Miller Mosquera, came out to cut but the ball stung him badly and Christian Marrugo was facing the arch of another reappearing, Alvaro Villete. Marrugo defined hard and down to 0-1, at 5 minutes.

Patriots made the mistake of going en bloc to try to find the tie and ended up giving away the back, with what was exposed to Millionaires attacking him as and when he wanted. Thus, the visitors increased the advantage at 13 minutes, in a counterattack by Fabián González Lasso, who had the option to finish off or to enable a teammate who arrived better located. He did the second: he took advantage of Marrugo's return to beat Monsalve and arrived ready to score the 0-2.

The game was still blue, in the stands and on the court, beyond which Millonarios was playing in white. A third visitor attack ended in a new goal by Millos, at 22, in another action that began at the feet of González Lasso. The attacker tried to get where it did not fit and the short rejection of the defense fell to Marrugo, who enabled Mackálister Silva to beat Villete.
Millonarios could have scored a couple of more goals in the first half, but then the revolutions went down a bit. Patriotas began to get close to the visitors' area and demanded a couple of times from goalkeeper Wuilker Faríñez before the goal of the discount, scored by Brayan Fernández, from a penalty kick, at 21 of the second stage, after a lack of Luis Payares to Daniel Mantilla.

The coach Jorge Luis Pinto tried to regain control of the ball and the game with the entry of Santiago Montoya by Marrugo, whom he took out due to physical exhaustion. Before it had put to debut in the league to another striker, Jorge Rengifo, instead of the young Aragon. It should be remembered that the two attackers with the most goals in the league are injured, Roberto Ovelar and Juan David Pérez. The first has not yet come back and the second had played on Wednesday in the Copa Colombia, against Llaneros, but he resented again.

When Pinto decided to send Alex Rambal to the court instead of Silva, the game was over, beyond 10 minutes were missing.
