In a game with several expulsions, Alianza Petrolera was reunited with the victory in the BetPlay League and entered, at least partially, the group of eight. Triumph by the minimum difference against Independiente Santa Fe in El Campín that allows Hubert Bodhert’s team to reach the eighth square of the table, surpassing the line of his rival in turn. Before the start there was a minute of silence in honor of Freddy Rincón.
Two expelled in Santa Fe and one in Alianza
Three times the match referee, Carlos Ortega, had to show the red card in the initial 45 minutes. The first expulsion came at the start, Kevin Mantilla left Santa Fe with ten for cutting an obvious goal action being the last man. In principle, the referee admonished him, but after reviewing the VAR he annulled the yellow card and changed it to expulsion.
When it seemed that Alianza took advantage of numerical superiority -Castellanos avoided the goal on minute 20- Leonardo Saldaña hit Rivera after a clash between the two and the visitor also had one less. Again, technology was necessary for the central judge to show the red.
After half an hour, Jerson Malagón, who had entered after the first expulsion in Santa Fe, he left Rojo with nine in an action very similar to that of Mantilla. Now yes, Alianza took advantage of the extra man and opened the scoring before the break. Brayan Gil scored after connecting a cross from Kevin Londoño in the area.
Santa Fe tries but the visitor, also with nine, takes the win
Despite starting the second half in inferiority, Cardetti’s team imposed conditions and came close to equalizing. Two free kick shots and a header that went just wide, the Cardenal’s clearest options at the beginning of the complement.
The fourth red card came with 20 minutes remaining in regulation time. Carlos Pérez, who had been on the field for just five minutes, was sent off for a hard foul on Dairon Mosquera. Both teams played the last leg with two men less.
The crossbar prevented Santa Fe from equalizing after a medium distance shot from Yéiler Góez and the goalkeeper José Luis Chunga denied the goal to Wilson Morelo in the last dangerous action. Alliance victory in Bogota.
