Millionaires continues its perfect march: defeated Union 1-0

[Akrapovic]

Gonzalez Lasso scored the only goal in the blue win at El Campin.

With the right thing, with nothing left over, without this time having many options to score, Millonarios did the first task, winning: 1-0 defeat to the Magdalena Union in El Campin, against 15,244 spectators. He was in debt for not having scored at least one more goal. The square A dominates Deportivo Pasto for that, precisely: for one more goal. Therefore, Saturday's match at 2 p. m. in Ipiales, will be key to the future of both teams.

Millonarios insinuated, at the beginning, that could overwhelm the Magdalena Union, which had an initial approach that did not work. The coach Hárold Rivera, aware of the potential that has Millos for the bands, decided to put together a defense of three and put lanes, to try to cover the exit. The experiment was fatal, because neither the slowness of the centrals, nor the location of the laterals, served to correct the problem.

Rather, Millonarios found all the space available to hurt, especially in the left zone, where Juan David Pérez began to be important. First, they committed a penalty that judge Nicolás Gallo did not sanction, when they put a swipe at his face inside the area. And then, from a play of his, the first goal was born, when he left Cristhian Subero behind, hooked in and finished off the goal. The goalkeeper César Giraldo stopped midfielders, with his feet and not with his hands, and left a rebound so that Fabián González Lasso scored the 1-0, at seven minutes.

"It's a game that we knew we had to win, what to add. Things went well, "Pérez told Win Sports. "These are already final. They have a great team, we can make specific and now we are going to recover well, "he added.

The effervescence lasted Millonarios, maximum, ten minutes more. Rivera corrected his mistake without needing to change the scheme he had put together, simply by demanding that his players press up, with an impressive physical effort. The comforts that the blues had had at the beginning disappeared as if by magic.

Pinto's team felt the absence of Mackálister Silva, suspended after his expulsion on Sunday against America, but available for the weekend. And also that of Christian Marrugo, whom the coach decided to leave in the bank in this match. Neither of the two replacements, Elíser Quiñones and Santiago Montoya, changed by Marrugo in the second half, fulfilled what was requested by the coach. The first did not come out and had a couple of shots without direction.

Union Magdalena did not feel the height. Except for David Ferreira, who started to take his team forward until the 40 years he has already passed bill and had to be replaced: the lack of air won the talent that has not lost. The team had management, took the ball from Millionaires, made it look uncomfortable. But that dominance was not transformed in depth: this time, the goalkeeper Wuilker Faríñez did not have almost work, as he had happened in previous dates. The only action of real danger, that finished inside the local arch, was invalidated by outside place of Yulián Gómez in the previous play.

But if the concerns did not go through the court, where there must be many headaches is in the medical department of Millionaires. The losses of Luis Payares and Felipe Jaramillo, who miss the remainder of the semester, now adds the González Lasso, who first had a cut in the face and then had to be replaced by Roberto Ovelar. At least, on Saturday they can return Silva and Andrés Román, for a key game for the future: a goal difference can leave the team without a prize, if it is neglected.
