In an intense and controversial match, Deportivo Pereira beat América de Cali 2-1 at the Hernán Ramírez Villegas stadium for the seventh date of the Betplay League. Rafael Dudamel's team took advantage of the expulsion of José Cavadía in the first half to take control of the game and add three points that place him fourth in the table with 11 units. America, on the other hand, let out the opportunity to react in the championship and continues to be sunk in the background, occupying box 18 with just four points.

The duel began with a more aggressive Pereira, looking for depth by the bands and pressing high to bother the visitor's exit. America, with an alternate payroll, retreated and opted to cut the rival's rhythm, but his plan broke after 44 minutes, when Cavadía saw the direct red after a hard entry on Juan David Ríos. Only moments later, Ríos himself opened the scoring with a medium distance shot that deviated in Bocanegra and left the goalkeeper Santiago Silva.

In the second part, Pereira was determined to expand the advantage and achieved it at minute 49. Carlos Darwin Quintero, a figure of the encounter, leaked a precise pass for Samy Merheg, who defined with power for the partial 2-0. With a man less and without clear ideas in attack, America was overcome in the game and had to resist to avoid a more bulky score.

Despite the attempts to reaction from the scarlet set, the clear options remained for the premises. Dudamel refreshed the attack with the entrance of Marco Pérez and Jordy Monroy, while Pereira looked for the third goal to sentence the commitment. America, on the other hand, opted for offensive changes to find a discount that would give it life in the last minutes.

The controversy came in the time of addition. First, a goal action of Pereira was annulled offside. Minutes later, Jan Lucumí marked head for America after a Bertel Árotel center, but the line judge indicated that the ball had left before shipping. After the review of the VAR, it was determined that the ball had not crossed the line and the goal was validated, putting the final 2-1.

The triumph ratifies the good moment of Deportivo Pereira, who accommodates himself in the privilege posts and will come to the next game against Envigado. America, on the other hand, is going through a crisis of results: adds its third consecutive defeat in the Betplay League and remains in the low zone, with serious problems to generate game and effectiveness in the rival arch.

The scarlet team, led by Gabriel Raimondi, has lived heavy weeks. The defeat at home against the Brazilian team not only left the international classification staggering, but also extended doubts about operation. In League, America is in box 17 with just four points, although it has three pending games. The problem: there is no margin to give more land if you want to fight a quota to home run.

Pereira, ninth with 8 units, knows that this duel is a double blow: winning would mean climbing in the table and, incidentally, accentuate the American crisis. The recent history between the two in Matecaña territory is couple – two victories per side and two draws – but the present of the rojiamarillos seems more solid. With Carlos Darwin Quintero as an offensive reference and the support of their people, the Matecañas will seek to impose the rhythm from the beginning.

America could present a mixed team, reserving pieces that acted in front of Fluminense. This, although necessary to manage wear, increases the risk before a rival that usually takes advantage of any deconcentration. Luis Ramos, his scoring letter in the League, will have the responsibility of leading the attack and breaking the negative streak.

More than three points, both play a vital impulse: Pereira to consolidate their good moment and America to show that it can react under pressure. The margin of error is minimal, and the context promises an intense party, of those that define moods beyond the table.
