Atlético Nacional defeated Envigado (2-1) at the close of the day on this holiday Monday of the BetPlay Dimayor League. The match, valid for date 14, featured Alfredo Morelos, a forward from Córdoba who scored the two goals for the Purslane team.
Those led by the Mexican Efraín Juárez, who could not count on their audience, since Atanasio Girardot is sanctioned after some excesses that occurred in September, had the possibility of stretching the advantage at the close of the match, but Dairon Asprilla missed a penalty .
The orange team, which partially found the tie thanks to an own goal by Simón García, has not been able to get out of its crisis and remains in last place. Envigado has had a difficult year and if it manages to stay in the first division it would still have to deal with a bad average in the coming seasons.
The day of this holiday Monday started in Tunja. Independiente Santa Fe beat Patriotas (2-1) this Monday at the La Independencia stadium. Omar Albornoz and Hugo Rodallega scored the goals that gave the cardinal team the victory and compromised the stay of the Boyacenses in the first division
Later, in Manizales, Once Caldas beat Deportivo Pasto (2-1) and climbed to second place in the BetPlay League table. It seemed that the match was ending in a draw but a goal by Juan David Cuesta in injury time gave the three points to the white white.
América de Cali suffered at home this Monday against Medellín at the Pascual Guerrero, but in the end they took the three points. At the end of the match, Jeisson Palacios scored the final 1-0 with which the Red Devils consolidated themselves at the top of the table.
With this victory, the scarlet team reached 32 points, three more than Once Caldas (which has one more game and is its closest pursuer in the BetPlay League classification). With that performance, the Scarlets’ ticket to the semi-final home runs seems sealed.
