Alianza FC and Independiente Santa Fe faced each other at the close of the Sunday matchday of date 10 of the BetPlay Dimayor League, thus being a vital commitment for the two teams, facing the needs in which both arrived after the previous meetings .
The Vallenato team had previously won 2-1 as a visitor against Fortaleza CEIF. While the cardinals also did their thing by winning 2-1 against Boyacá Chicó.
The match started positively for Santa Fe, which began as the dominant team against an Alianza that had a hard time putting together plays to reach the rival goal.
Just as Pablo Peirano’s team began the match, Santa Fe took the lead on the scoreboard thanks to the forward and team captain, Hugo Rodallega, who headed in a cross from Agustín Rodríguez, and celebrated his goal number 6 in the championship.
However, the lion’s commitment was not going to be perfect, after 28 minutes into the initial period Pablo Peirano’s team was left with one man less, after having suffered the expulsion of Yilmar Velásquez, who made a tackle on him aggressive to the forward, Andrés Rentería.
Things would turn out worse for the Bogotá team, after 68 minutes Santa Fe was left with 9 men on the field, after receiving the expulsion of Francisco Chaverra after elbowing an Alianza player.
Finally, the match ended in favor of Pablo Peirano’s team, who achieved a difficult victory despite the two expulsions he had, placing himself in fourth place with 19 points. While the local team finished the day in 15th position with 11 units.
