Orsomarso and Llaneros do not give advantages
Both Llaneros and Orsomarso came out to take the initiative in the match, neither team wanted to give an advantage and were proactive from the first minutes. However, the locals were the ones who settled best on the field, managing to generate several scoring opportunities, like the one Jhojan Escobar had with a mid-distance shot at 7′.
The disturbing pressure of the Valle del Cauca team almost paid off ten minutes later. Andrés Ruíz received a cross from the left and was alone in front of the goalkeeper, but he did not manage to define in the best way, missing a clear opportunity to take advantage; Later, the rebound was left to Juan Salcedo and he shot a ball that went very soft for the goalkeeper.
Llaneros tried to respond and also found spaces in the midfield to go on the attack. Thanks to this they had some opportunities such as Juan Carlos Angulo, who finished in the area after a corner kick, but goalkeeper Euler Obando stood out with a great save. Shortly after, Jhildrey Lasso worried Orsomarso’s goal with a powerful shot that ended up hitting the crossbar.
Equality is maintained in Palmira
For the second half, the pace of the commitment dropped compared to the first half. The locals maintained the initiative and momentum in search of the goal that would allow them to break the zero, They also had an advantage with an extra man, after Duván Mosquera was sent off in Llaneros for a double yellow.
With this superiority on the field, Orosomarso went on the attack and in the 65th minute found a clear opportunity with a header from Deyson Copete that goalkeeper Kevin Armesto saved with great quality. With control of the ball, the Vallunos continued to arrive and get closer, although without much clarity.
In the final minutes of the match, Orosmarso could have taken the advantage, after Juan Salcedo received a through pass and finished in the area, but once again the Llaneros goalkeeper prevented his goal from falling. With this result, the series remains open and next Wednesday, June 19 at 7:00 pm the champion will be defined, when both teams meet again at the Bello Horizonte – Rey Pelé stadium in Villavicencio.
