El Diablo Rojo came third, four points behind the leaders ahead of the big Clásico against Atlético Nacional.
It was a one-on-one duel due to several factors: offensive style of play, prioritizing good handling of the ball, confrontation between the guards of the Millionaires on the table, measuring oil with each other. The duel was ultimately for the Antioquians, who won in effectiveness, but for America there are good feelings and also things to work on in time.
The first was that against the Dorados they sometimes lost possession, they let themselves be surprised and matched in game intensity and competitiveness by a team that shows each date, in addition to an idea consolidated by Lucas González, important advances. Not just anyone and not always dueling face to face with a giant like América in Pascual. Águilas did it and won it.
So Guimarães will have to find ways to counter these approaches, scarce as they are in Colombian football, as nights like today’s in Pascual could be repeated in more definite cases. And also find how to give his team scoring power again so as not to waste the options created and to optimize the good work of the midfielders led by Quintero.
A Quintero who committed an imprudence to see the red and miss the great classic against Nacional, that although the coach will be able to use his payroll, starting with Falque, it will be a significant loss because of the inspired moment that the scientist continues. A second blow that contributes to defeat, but also allows to measure the depth of the roster, the ability to rethink and the team’s “resilience” to return to victory after three dates without achieve it in a match that goes beyond the field and the points.
