The Betplay Cup continues this Thursday with the first leg of the round of 16 between Envigado and Millonarios. The meeting will be played at the South Sports Center. The return of the series will be played on September 16 at the El Campín de Bogotá stadium.
The ambassador squad, led by Hernán Torres, traveled to Antioquia territory on the afternoon of this Tuesday. The delegation could not count on Uruguayan goalkeeper Guillermo de Amores, who suffered a degree injury in the femoral biceps of his left leg during the previous commitment.
Iván Arboleda will occupy his place, who recently returned to the club after a period as a free agent. He and Bogota Diego Novoa will play the arch in the coming weeks.
In addition to Amores, Millionaires will not have two other players that have been common, such as the flyer Nicolás Arévalo and the side Danovis Bangguero. In attack there will not be Santiago Giordana, expelled in the previous round by a hard entry on a rival.
In contrast, the good news is the evolution of striker Leonardo Castro, absent since March for a fracture. Although he still does not integrate the call, he has returned to train with the first team and his return to the courts seems close.
Millionaires reached this instance after overcoming Real Cartagena in the previous round with a global 4-3. In Bogotá imposed conditions with a 3-1, a match in which Beckham Castro stood out with a double.
However, on the return, played in Jaime Morón, the blue painting suffered to maintain the advantage and only with a penalty converted by Banguero managed to secure the ticket to the eighths.
For its part, Envigado advanced to this phase from the group's round. He shared an area with FC Alliance, golden Águilas, Barranquilla FC and Orsomarso, imposing himself solidly in the table and achieving the direct quota among the 16 best of the contest.
The duel in the South Sports Center will mark the beginning of a series in which Millionaires arrives with relevant and envied casualties with the aim of taking advantage of the locality. The key will be defined in Bogotá, but this first chapter can mark the trend for the classification to the quarterfinals.
