Millionaires avoided an early elimination of the BetPlay 2025 Cup after a match suffered against Real Cartagena. The 'Ambassador' painting was seen against the strings, but a penalty of Davonis Banguero, with arbitration controversy included, sentenced the classification in favor of the Bogota (3-2 in the global).
Miguel Ángel Murillo, from the twelve steps, and Gonzalo Pedrosa marked for the 'Heroic' team, matching the series and lighting the alarms at the Banco Azul. Millionaires also suffered the expulsion of Santiago Giordana, which increased the tension and left the team with one less in the final minutes.
However, the resistance of goalkeeper Kevin Armesto was defeated by Banguero, in a collection from the penalty point that was marked by arbitration confusion: there was invasion of the blue players in the first execution and Judge David Espinosa, who initially had indicated indirect free kick, corrected thanks to the assistance of his companions.
In the end, Hernán Torres valued the reaction of the team, but also called for calm and unity amid the criticisms of the leadership headed by Gustavo Serpa, whom a journalist, during the press conference, said to give priority to economic yields over sports results.
“I believe that right now it is not time to find guilty, it is time to join, that we all put on the same side, that we all raise millionaires, not only the technician or the players or the administrative part, all: our fans, journalism. We have to be united,” Torres started his speech.
The Tolimense coach, aware of the limitations of the current market, was clear to remember that there is no room for great changes: “At the moment being blame and pointing to me that it is not the time. The moment is to get up and recover because there is no more. We can not register, there is no quota of inscriptions, there are free players, but the free player is free is for something.”
Torres also appealed to nostalgia to reinforce his message. He recalled the title of 2012, when he took Millionaires to star 14 after 24 years of drought, as an example of what he means joining forces.
“Now what is left? Unite, motivate and encourage this human group that we have so that we can get out of that difficult position we are having. That is what I want, to leave aside superb, hate, and let's join as we did in 2012.”
Millionaires will return to action next Friday, when you visit golden Águilas at Alberto Grisales de Rionegro for the ninth date of the Betplay Dimayor League (8:10 pm). Ambassadors are penultimate in the standings, with a four -point income in seven presentations.
