Equidad and Boyacá Chicó faced each other at the close of matchday 15 of the BetPlay Dimayor League, where Bogotá and Boyacá people were looking for three points to continue adding to the standings, which are quite even.
Prior to this match, the locals had just lost 1-0 against Junior in Barranquilla. While the chess team obtained a valuable narrow victory against Jaguares at the La Libertad stadium.
The match started quite favorably for the locals, since after 7 minutes Equidad quickly took the lead. The person in charge of opening the scoring would be Joiner Moreno, who received a pass from Johan Rojas from a free kick, and surprised the visiting defense. Thus placing the first goal of the game.
Then things would turn out to be more positive for those led by Alexis García, since Boyacá Chicó would be left with one less man, after the goalkeeper, Rogerio Caicedo, was sent off for making a foul outside the area.
Now at 22 minutes, and with an extra man on the field, Equidad would increase the advantage. The person in charge of scoring the second goal in the match would be Kevin Viveros, who took advantage of the addition on the scoreboard for the capital’s team from the penalty spot.
Things would continue to be favorable for the Bogota team, taking into account that three minutes after the second score, Equidad’s third goal in the game would arrive. Now it would be an own goal caused by Wilmar Cruz, who headed towards his goal in a corner charge.
The commitment would continue to be a rosy color for Equidad, since minutes after the third goal, Boyacá Chicó would be expelled for another game. Now the injured player would be Víctor Perea, who received the red card after a harsh action that was reviewed by the VAR.
Later in the second half, Equidad would settle the score once again, after Élan Ricardo placed his name on the list of scorers for the match. A cross from Andrés Felipe Correa from the left sector caused the midfielder to reach the area and head towards the goal, leaving the rival goalkeeper with no option.
