Junior and America classified on Wednesday the round of 16 of the Betplay Cup, after leaving Atlético Huila and Tigres respectively. The two traditional Colombian football teams sealed their passage with triumphs as a visitor.
Both clubs were the favorites in their respective keys and met the forecasts, although with different margins. The sharks barely surpassed the opitas in the penalties after drawing 3-3 in the global, while the Red Devils imposed themselves in their series with a blunt 6-0.
Junior, leader of the Betplay League, arrived at Alcid de Neiva squares with some pressure, as he did not take advantage of the locality in the first leg, which ended 2-2. On the return he showed a better version during the first half and was close to solving the key in the 90 minutes with the goal of Bryan Castrillón.
However, the place changed the course of the definition. When three minutes were missing for the end of the regulatory time, Brayan Castro matched the game for Huila and sent the series to the definition from the penalty point, by establishing the 1-1 in the Vuelta and 3-3 in the global.
In the batch, a shot stopped by Jefferson Martínez and another shot by David Villa-who sent the ball above the crossbar-allowed Teófilo Gutiérrez to seal the shark classification with the final collection (4-2). In the round of 16, Junior will face Atlético de Cali.
Earlier, America “visited” Tigres at the Raúl Miranda Stadium in Yumbo. The feline team usually plays in Bogotá, but preferred to have the Vallecaucano municipality for this return duel. The series was 5-0 in favor of the Red Devils, so this duel felt more as a procedure.
Despite keeping one player less soon after the second half began, after the expulsion of Luis Paz, the victory went to the scarlet, thanks to a lonely goal by Yerson Candelo (1-0). In the next one they will face Atlético Bucaramanga.
This Wednesday was also going to play patriots and eleven Caldas in the independence of Tunja, but the game was suspended due to the blockages promoted by mining and peasant organizations of the department. The series goes 6-0 in favor of those of Manizales.
