Santa Fe’s misstep: they lost to Llaneros on the 15th in Bogotá

Santa Fe fell after four dates in the colombian league. Lost 1-0 against Llaneros and committed their classification to the next phase.

The cardinal’s return to El Campín was eventful. Their starting goalkeeper Andrés Mosquera was injured in pre-competitive exercises, left back Christian Mafla was sent off in the 33rd minute and received a header from Jhon Vásquez at the beginning of the second half.

Too much consecutive bad news to reverse between the urgency to add and get closer to the qualifiers with five dates still to play. He went forward, took risks, but became imprecise with too many crosses into the area, cleared by the visiting centre-backs.

The Uruguayan Franco Fagúndez returned to the attack after a month and a half without the expected effect. It was accelerated by the order with which Llaneros defended their advantage. It was their second consecutive victory against the red team in Bogotá.

The defeat complicates Santa Fe’s aspiration to go to the playoffs. He was left with 18 points. Their next match will be on Saturday, April 4 against Deportes Tolima in Ibagué in a match pending on date 10. Their two centre-backs, Emanuel Olivera and Víctor Moreno, received five yellow cards and will be absent.
