With equality in the Casa Blanca, Albiazul has a good chance of qualifying in El Campín.
It may seem little and more for the demands the capital team is used to, but the goalless draw in Ecuador for Stage II of the play-offs was positive. He was not fluent in appearance, but neither was he widely surpassed by the U. Católica; in fact, it was a draw in possession and chances from which Millonarios emerged unscathed.
Even the locals, apart from not having much clarity to reach Montero’s goal and except for Minda’s header on the post in the second half, did not complicate the defense, frustrating their illusion to take advantage at home and secure the tie to start.
If there was anything to raise any concerns or at least take into account for the foreseeable future, it was that the Colombian team failed to show what they love to do and what they usually show, regardless of their condition away from home. That and that the changes weighed little despite Gamero including names like Quiñónes, Valencia and Guerra. They were the two weaknesses in a millionaire who knew how to persevere and resolve in the midst of circumstances.
Game of the weekend against Caldas once past, the Albiazul should have no problems condemning their passage to the next stage in El Campín. It is known that the Bogotá team plays to their heart’s content, with patience, composure and perseverance, which is why they came out tonight with a slight mental advantage over the U. which will surely make the difference and allow Gamero’s men to continue through advance with a good step.
