Alianza Petrolera suffered a disappointing 0-1 loss away to Deportivo Cali in the last round of league games. The match was a drab one in general with the only goal coming early in the first half. In the 8th minute, Deportivo Cali won a corner that was taken by Juan Castilla. Juan Castilla’s perfect delivery found the head of Gustavo Ramirez who headed it emphatically from very close range into the center of the goal. Perhaps one can blame the Alianza Petrolera defense for not defending it better. Four yellow cards were shown before the end of the half, one to Deportivo Cali and three to Alianza Petrolera. Alianza Petrolera received another one in the 57th minute, just before Deportivo Cali made three substitutions in a bid to protect their lead. Alianza Petrolera was able to muster just four shots in the second half and created no big chance throughout the game. Basically, they didn’t do enough to get back into the game and at least salvage a point. Alianza Petrolera has two wins, two losses and one draw in its last five matches, scoring just four goals and conceding seven.

Three other players received a yellow card in the half, one extra from Sante Fe and two from Bucaramanga including Francisco Rodriguez. The first goal of the fixture came a few minutes before the half-time whistle. Misael Martinez passed the ball to Jhon Cordoba in the left side box and he hit a left footed shot into the bottom right corner in the 41st minute. Sante Fe made two changes to start the second half in hope of getting back into the game and it worked. In the 69th minute, substitute Ever Valencia created a big chance by passing to Ivan Scarpeta who hit a right footed shot from very close range into the bottom right corner to bring the game level.
