The Ind. Medellin team comes into this game after a heavy 3-0 defeat against Boyaca Chico. Contrary to what was expected, it was Chico's team that came in stronger and was more dominant throughout the match. Boyaca Chico's team started to put pressure on and reached 1-0 in the 29th minute. The Ind. Medellin team would not be able to react to the goal conceded, not even at the beginning of the second half. It would be Chico's team again to score the goal, in the 62nd minute, through a penalty. Despite needing to score to reach a draw, the Ind. Medellin team would never be able to create real chances of danger and it would be the Boyaca Chico team that reached the final 3-0 in the 81st minute. With this result, the Ind. Medellin team is in 15th place in the table, with 7 points. In the last 5 games, the team has recorded 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats, having scored 3 goals and conceded 12. In addition to being one of the worst attacks, the team is also one of the worst defenses in the competition. The Ind. Medellin team quickly needs to reorganize itself and get back to winning ways after such a heavy defeat against the last-placed team.
Fortaleza (WLDLW)
The Fortaleza team comes to this game after a fantastic and surprising 2-0 victory against Junior Barranquilla. It was expected that Junior's team, due to its position and form, would be more dominant in the match. However, it was precisely the opposite. It would be the Fortaleza team that came in more dominant, reaching 1-0 in the 9th minute through an own goal. Despite the goal conceded, Junior's team was unable to react, with Fortaleza's team continuing to create the best scoring opportunities. In the 2nd half, surprisingly, it would continue to be the Fortaleza team that was slightly more dominant and created the best opportunities for danger. Fortaleza's 9 goal attempts are relevant compared to just 4 from Junior. And it would be in one of these opportunities, already at 82', that the Fortaleza team would make the final 2-0. With this result, the Fortaleza team is in 6th place in the table, with 10 points. In the last 5 games, the team has recorded 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats, having scored 7 goals and conceded 6.
