Deportivo Cali achieved one of the most important victories in recent months this Sunday, at a key moment in the championship. This Sunday they beat América 0-1 in a new edition of the Valle del Cauca classic, at the Pascual Guerrero stadium.
According to the criteria of
The goal by defender José Caldera left those led by Sergio Herrera very close to permanence. However, Cali is still not mathematically saved from relegation, its main sporting concern this year.
This Sunday there was another key victory for one of the relegation candidates, that of Patriotas de Boyacá, who beat Boyacá Chicó 3-0 and is still breathing in its intention to save itself. And, although he remains last in the table, he depends on himself to stay in A.
Patriotas and Envigado can still beat Cali
The fact that Patriotas divides only by the number of games it has played this year means that the average can rise quite a bit and therefore, if it gets the remaining points, it would reach 1.08, which would exceed it, even if everyone wins their games, to Jaguares, which would rise to a maximum of 1.03, and to Envigado, which the maximum it can reach is 1.06.
Much more comfortable and with a good margin of error is Cali, which, if it loses everything it has left, would drop to 1.04. Jaguares can no longer reach him. But the sugar growers cannot be neglected.
Cali has two direct duels in the relegation issue: on Wednesday, against Jaguares in Palmaseca, and on the following day they visit Envigado. A win in either game will keep him in the A in 2025.
The worst scenario for Cali is to lose everything they have left and for Patriotas and Envigado to add nine points. In that case, Boyacenses and Antioqueños would surpass it in the table (1.08 and 1.06, respectively) and the Greens, with 1.04, would play in B next year.
The calendar that remains for the teams that fight not to be relegated
