Águilas Doradas and Independiente Santa Fe faced each other at the close of the Sunday matchday of matchday 13 of the BetPlay Dimayor League. A match that was important for both squads, this with the aim of continuing to add points towards the end of the championship that is approaching.
Prior to this match, the local team had just lost 1-2 against Deportivo Pereira as a visitor. While the cardinals tied one goal against Deportes Tolima in El Campín.
The match began in a controversial manner between Antioqueños and capital residents, after the match had begun the referee did not consider an expulsion for the Santa Fe team, after Hugo Rodallega carried out a dangerous action in front of a rival player, which the match referee did not see as necessary review it in the VAR.
However, and after there were not as many actions in the first half for both Antioqueños and León, things would turn out in favor in the complementary period for the locals, after at 57 minutes Hernán Dario Gómez’s team had a penalty charge, which was initially stopped by the Santa Fe goalkeeper, but went ahead and had to be repeated, with the good luck that the Argentine striker, Agustín Vuletich, ended up scoring.
But Santa Fe insisted, persisted, and never gave up, after they tied the score in the 83rd minute. The person in charge of establishing equality was the midfielder Daniel Torres, who scored his goal after a corner kick from the right sector. It was the midfielder’s first goal in his return to the capital team.
