The Magdalena team lost 2×0 to Sucre in the second qualifying zone, which takes place in the city of Sincelejo. Despite the result, the Barça team showed a good game and generated the best chances of the match.
Two inattentions in defense cost Magdalena the two goals of the match, the first came in the 20th minute, after an error in the release of the ball that Sucreño striker Jhonny Arrieta took advantage of. The second goal came in the 35th minute, the product of a header from Kevin López after a corner kick.
In the second half, the situation became complicated for Magdalena with the expulsion of left back Santiago Hernández in the 60th minute. To make matters worse, goalkeeper Sleider Sierra had to be removed from the field in the 75th minute due to a shoulder injury. With the changes exhausted, the player Miguel Moreno put on the gloves to defend the Magdalenense goal.
Despite the difficulties, those led by Félix Noguera did not give up and fought until the end of the game. The fans present in the stadium cheered on their team throughout the match and recognized the players’ efforts.
