América de Cali played to defend itself and fell against Medellín

Both out of conviction and out of obligation, but with a framework diametrically opposed to what was the Valle del Cauca Classic against Deportivo Cali, America returned to playing what it does not usually do and this time Medellín did not forgive him.

Of course, the 2-1 was benevolent with the Red Devil, because if it weren’t for Graterol against Pons, the score could have been further away for the second leg. Medellín, which is strong at home in the League, did not forgive the lack of ambition for Scarlet, who tried to get the goal back to zero by withdrawing, but without the order seen in Palmaseca.

The article follows below

El Poderoso came out to win from the first minute and only with a quick transition to the attack, América found the tie that he did not know how to manage, to end up succumbing to the attack of the red paisa. From then on, America was disfigured, gave up the intention, the ball and possession. He gave up the attack when Osorio, in a rare decision, took out Ramos.

Because one thing is to defend yourself, as you had to do in Palmaseca with two less men, championed by a lot of resilience and courage. Another, totally different and as was seen tonight at the Atanasio Girardot, something treacherous, changing the script completely.

America gave up what she knows, but was lucky enough to leave the series open. In Cali, before his people at the Pascual Guerrero, he will surely go out on the field to return to his jurisdiction, to his highly effective comfort zone and to what Osorio likes the most: attacking, dominating and trying to score goals, even if they mark him, despite because that risk must now be minimized.
