The independent champion Santa Fe will receive on Saturday in Bogotá to América de Cali on the fifth day of the Tournament of Colombia, a meeting to which both teams come motivated and in which they hope to add to continue climbing positions in the table.

The capitalists are fifth with six points, while visitors occupy the thirteenth place with four units, although they have two postponed games.

Santa Fe, led by Uruguayan Jorge Bava, lives a good moment because at the beginning of the championship he won a match and equaled three, the last one in the House of Atlético Nacional. The team also defeated the International 2-0 this week in the first leg of the second round of the Colombia Cup.

However, the Uruguayan will have to deal with the decline of the suspended midfielder Ewil Murillo, who is possibly replaced in the starting eleven by Yilmar Velásquez.

The veteran striker Hugo Rodallega, figure of the team in the league title achieved in June, already resumed the training after his nose surgery, but is not yet available to play.

America, meanwhile, is motivated after winning its last three games: 2-0 to Bahia in the return of the Playoff of the South American Cup, 2-1 to golden eagles on the fourth day of the League and 5-0 to Tigers in the first leg of the second phase of the Colombia Cup.

The Argentine coach Diego Gabriel Raimondi is beginning to implement his idea and has found good levels in newly signed players such as the Venezuelan end Jhon Murillo and the flywheel Dylan Borrero, as well as the constant performance of other pillars of the team such as the midfielder Rafael Carrascal and the Peruvian scorer Luis Ramos.

Raimondi will have to look for a replacement for defender Cristian Tovar, expelled before golden eagles and who was playing as a right side in replacement of the injured Yerson Candelo and Mateo Castillo.

Equipment game needed

The Independiente Medellín (DIM) and Millionaires will star on Sunday a game of needy teams, as both started the championship and receive criticism from their fans who expect better performance.

On the one hand, there is the DIM, which occupies the 14th place with four units and still seems not to leave behind the defeat in the final with the Independent Santa Fe.

“More than a month of the game has passed that they remember and this team has to get up, because it has quality,” said team coach Alejandro Restrepo, after drawing 1-1 at home this week with Jaguares, of the Second Division, in the first leg of the second round of the Colombia Cup.

Opposite is Millionaires, who has only played two games this semester, but occupies the last place without points, as it lost 1-0 with equity and 0-1 at home with llaneros last Monday.

The capital team announced on Thursday the hiring of the Brazilian steering wheel Bruno Savio, who comes from playing in the Bolívar, but will not yet count on him because he has to adapt physically first.

The Pasto-Envigado Sports Party was postponed.
