América de Cali won their match with a score of 1-0 they played against their host Alianza Petrolera and the game was very tense much of the time thanks to good performances mostly in the second half. In the initial period there was no goal from either side, while at the domestic side of the first half Alianza had a goal invalidated in the 19th minute after Rentería was offside. And the second half was again showing that América de Cali were capable of scoring goals in the few opportunities they could create. The only goal of the match was scored towards the end, in the last additional minute, 90+7, by Vergara, who did not fail. Alianza attempted to answer back, but failed to do so, when they had numerous clear opportunities in a game which saw the team have more of the ball, controlling 53% of the match’s possession and completing ten total attempt on goal while América de Cali completed nine. According to the performance indicators, Alianza dominated the game in the first half and had 52% ball possession; they had attacked the rival’s goal five times but only one of these attacks was accurate. América was more oriented to depth and organization, with 48% of ball possession and 2 attempts at the goal, still no goal was made. With this result, América Cali is in 2nd place in the table with 22 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 5 wins, with a record of 14 goals scored and 5 goals conceded. They are the team in better form and the best defense so far.

Fortaleza were defeated at home 1-3 by the team of Santa Fe during the match that saw the guest team produce stellar performances during the match’s climax. Still in the first half, a team managed to dominate in the field, with 56% ball possession, and attempted to set the tempo. Still, seven attempts on goal were few and poor in terms of shots on goal, which could not break through the organized defense line of Santa Fe, and at the same time, had their chances. The first goal of the match was recorded in forty- threerd minute through Albornoz in a first half that ended with the visiting team leading 0-1. The second half continued more or less along the same lines – Fortaleza enjoyed significantly more possession of the ball although they again were unable to turn this into genuine goal-scoring opportunities. The more efficient team of Santa Fe got the few occasions created on target, boosting the tally in the 58 minute with Perlaza and later on in the 79th minute with Mosquera to leave the score 0-3. Fortaleza could ultimately attempt to answer and approached the last minutes, with Palacios in the 90+3’ scoring but this wasn’t enough for an actual comeback. However, technically, Fortaleza was more dominant having 56% ball possession; yet they had only 7 attempts with none of them penetrating the opponents’ goal area as much as the efficacy of Santa Fe’s 4 shots on goals. With this result, Fortaleza is in 5th place in the table with 17 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 4 draws and 1 defeat, with a record of 14 goals scored and 12 goals conceded.

In the last 5 games between these 2 teams, Fortaleza has won 2, and they drew another 3. Goals were scored in 3 of those 5 games, with both teams scoring in 2 of those matches.

America Cali are favorites, they play at home and are in a better momentum.
