América de Cali stepped firmly at home and beat Medellín 2-0 this Sunday at the Pascual Guerrero, to get on the same line of points as Millionaires in home run B.
América dominated Medellín and had the best chances to score in the game, but they will have to wait 79 minutes to find the advantage they deserved.
The goal came from a corner kick by Luis Sánchez, who found Adrián Ramos in the six-yard box ready to head in and beat goalkeeper Andrés Mosquera Marmolejo.
Six minutes earlier, Medellín had been left with 10 men: the referee Luis Gabriel Matorel dismissed Andrés Cadavid for a double reprimand.
Then, in stoppage time and after a series of rebounds, Cristian Barrios scored the second and final goal.
América, now with four points in the table, the same as Millonarios, but below in the classification due to the ‘invisible point’, will have the option of leading the group on Wednesday, when they receive the blues at Pascual Guerrero (8 :30 p.m.).
