America’s 2-0 loss to Atlético Nacional leaves Osorio hanging by a thread

Bogotá, Oct 24 (EFE) .- Atlético Nacional’s 2-0 win against América de Cali leaves coach Juan Carlos Osorio looking for a victory to ensure his continuity and gives a “sprint” to the leader on his throne. from the top of the table on matchday 15.
The classic between ‘Red Devils’ and ‘Verdolagas’ was signed with goals from Argentine Emanuel Olivera, with a shot with the right in the 16th minute, and by Sebastián Gómez, with another shot this time on the left that took the ball to the post left.
The second goal, in the 60th minute, left Alejandro Restrepo’s men confident and calm in the rest of the second half, while Osorio saw his future in jeopardy from the bench and how his team lost opportunities to be among the eight that qualify for the semifinals of the Closing Tournament.
The Greens even had the opportunity to increase the win with an attempt by Sebastián Gómez in the first half discount, which took the ball after several passes, and was finally canceled for offside.
The match at Pascual Guerrero had to be suspended in the 90th minute, shortly before the final whistle, because America fans entered and invaded the field, to the amazement of the players.
A LAST MINUTE GOAL
The first match of the day ended with an important victory for Deportivo Cali, who beat Rionegro Águilas 2-1 with a goal two minutes from the end of Teófilo Gutiérrez from the center of the area, when the match seemed to be tied.
The first half closed with a draw, with lace from Jhon Fredy Salazar who opened the scoring for Rionegro’s team in the 25th minute and a right hand from Harold Preciado.
The tie seemed assured even in spite of the eagles’ attempts to win a victory that allows them to climb places in the table, where they remain in position 15.
However, Teo saved the tables to the Venezuelan coach Rafael Dudamel and brought the “Azucareros”, who are in ninth position with 21 points, to be able to play the cards to get among the eight best who will play the semifinal homers of the Clausura Tournament.
THE DESCENT OF THE HUILA
The match between Atlético Huila and Santa Fe remains to be played, although the former no longer have mathematical opportunities to retain their position in the First Division and will play in the Second Division again.
The 1-2 victory of Deportivo Pereira, his rival for permanence, over Patriotas yesterday left the team led by Alberto Rujana with no chance of being saved in the absence of five days before the end of the regular phase of the Clausura Tournament.
