La Equidad made the auction of the round-robin phase of the 2023-I League even more spicy. Alexis García’s team hasn’t lost for nine games and this Friday he saw a result that puts him, for now, among the top eight in the League.
The Bogotá team beat Atlético Bucaramanga 1-0, with an agonizing goal from the Colombian-Venezuelan José Hernández Chávez in the 86th minute, and rose to eighth place in the championship, with 25 points, displacing Junior from Barranquilla for now, who this Saturday will play against Deportivo Pereira in Barranquilla.
On the last date, La Equidad will play again in Bogotá, but this time as a visitor, against Millonarios, who needs a win to ensure seeding in the semifinal home runs and thus have the ‘invisible point’.
It should be remembered that this year the regulations of the championship changed and the first two in the league table of positions have a tie advantage in points against any rival in the quadrangular semifinal.
Deportivo Cali, eliminated from the home run
In Montería, Deportivo Cali broke a result that gives them some breathing room in the relegation table, but that closes the door to qualifying for home runs: drew 1-1 with Jaguares.
José Armando Mendoza put the Jaguares ahead, after a bad rejection by goalkeeper Kevin Dawson, and Andrés Arroyo equalized for Cali.
For its part, Águilas Doradas got into second place in the League by defeating Envigado 1-2 as a visitor, at the Parque Estadio Sur.
