The appearances in the area on the part of both sets were fruit of the exit by the extremes and the appearance in surprise of the steering wheels arriving behind the backs of the power stations.

Tolima was clearer when attacking through the sector where Luis González was located, which was a continuous headache for Cristian Mafla, in National it was more the desire than the order to get to disturb Wiliam Cuesta.
