Jaguares de Córdoba and Independiente Santa Fe met on matchday 19 of the BetPlay Dimayor League. A match that faced some eliminated cats (although they are still in the relegation fight), and a cardinal team that (already classified) was fighting to be the head of the group.
Prior to this match, the feline team had lost 2-1 against Alianza FC, while the cardinals achieved a 1-0 victory against América de Cali on matchday 18 of the BetPlay League.
The game began with Jaguares de Córdoba being superior against a Santa Fe that tried to be cautious but without leaving so many spaces. A start in which the feline team tried to take advantage of the heat factor, where they tried to prematurely drown their rival.
A strategy that ended up working for them after 21 minutes, taking into account that Jaguares would score the first goal of the match. The action began on the right sector, when Khayser Lenis received the ball and launched a cross towards Pablo Rojas, who entered alone and without any mark, and left Andrés Mosquera Marmolejo with no options to stop him.
In this way, Jaguares obtained a valuable victory that keeps them alive in the fight for permanence against a Santa Fe that lost the opportunity to be the head of the group, taking into account that Atlético Bucaramanga won its respective game.
Now the next commitment for the Córdoba team is the beginning of the second semester since they finished the All against All in the fourteenth place with 22 points. While Pablo Peirano’s team finished this phase fourth, and awaits their rivals in the semi-final home runs.
