Real Cartagena was defeated at the Guillermo Plazas Alcid Stadium in Neiva 2×0 against Atlético Huila.
Those led by Alberto Suárez suffered their first defeat in these home runs and were three points behind the group leader, Orsomarso, who defeated Tigres 1×0 in the city of Bogotá in the early hours.
The auriverde team came out in the first half with good momentum, looking for the rival goal with Teófilo Gutiérrez and Luis “Chino” Sandoval up front. Then, Atlético Huila countered the heroics and demanded goalkeeper Cristian Arroyave up to three times, who kept a clean sheet on goal.
In the second half, Real Cartagena had options, but the lack of aim squandered the Auriverdes’ opportunities. At 28 minutes, Carlos Lucumí took advantage of an error by Darwin Palomeque in a rebound and put the local team ahead. Real continued to insist and added men to the attack, but it was not enough. Already at the end of the match, at minute 45+3, Jhon Méndez made it 2-0 and settled the score.
With this defeat, Real Cartagena is second in Group A with 7 points, behind Orsomarso, which has 10 points. The next game will be against Tigres in the city of Bogotá. The heroic ones must win no matter what to continue in the fight for Promotion.
