Referring to yesterday’s game, one of the team’s leaders, Sebastián Hernández, commented: «I think it has been a very positive championship for us in general.. I feel that the team has grown in its idea of the game and has had good results. In home runs, we have not been inferior to our rivals. I feel that the team has always gone to the front, wherever it goes it always proposes and the home runs are like that, closed, no one wants to give anything away. The main and only objective is to ascend. There is no promotion in the middle of the year and we still have that possibility at the end of the year. “We must continue fighting for the issue of reclassification, which also gives an option.”
Although already eliminated, Atlético Huila still has a match pending against Tigres, which they must win to continue adding to the reclassification table. This Monday, June 10, will be the farewell of the first Tournament for Huila, in a duel that will be played at the Guillermo Plazas Alcid stadium in Neiva, starting at 7:15 pm
