Cúcuta had a stormy start
For Cúcuta Deportivo fans, the approach presented by Barrionuevo, who formed with a defensive line of five, was a total surprise.
Hernán Pertuz, Kevin Moreno and Bayron Suaza acted as center backs accompanied by full-backs Santiago Guzmán and Mauricio Duarte.
Suaza played his first game of the year, but he did not leave a good image. The Antioquian arrived at the wrong time in different plays, generated a penalty and was substituted at 34′.
The red and black, who played in white, They were overwhelmed by their initial shyness.
Huila dominated the ball and Cúcuta dedicated itself to waiting. At 22′ the scoring opened with a great goal from Ecuadorian Vicente Jaime, who combined very well from the left and shot from outside the area, it rebounded before and they had no chance to save it.
The goal seemed to encourage the border team, who came close in the 26th minute with a free kick taken by Lucas Ríos.
But the motilones once again received another accurate blow. This time from the right, Felipe Ordóñez – after another good combination – nailed it into the corner at 28′.
The night seemed to get darker for Cúcuta. At 31′, Suaza committed a foul inside the area. The Argentine Lucas Farías was the one to collect, who ended up losing to Esteban.
Ineffective reaction
The blow received woke up the rioters. Barrionuevo took out Suaza for Cristian Mosquera, changing his module to act with a defensive line of four.
The reaction was seen in options, but not in effectiveness. Ríos tried from midfield at 38′ and with a header at 39′, but failed.
Agudelo approached 41′, 45’+2 and 45+3, missing all his shots in the area.
Farias, before the end of the first half, He had a heads-up match that was won by Esteban.
Agudelo reached goal 60
At the beginning of the second half, Huila owned the ball, as had been happening since the start of the game. That possession did not represent danger.
Distressed by the poor presentation, the Argentine coach included midfielders Cristian Álvarez and William Parra, at 56′.
Four minutes later the discount came. Álvarez received in the middle, paused, sent a ball into the void for the full-back Duarte, who controlled it with his chest and crossed for Sharpen it, as it came, it would hit and send it to the back of the net.
The Antioquian came to the 60 goals with Cúcuta: 41 of them in the second division, 14 in the first division and 5 in the Colombia Cup.
The goal motivated the motilón to go forward. And at 61′ he came close with a header from Johan Montes that was saved by Méndez.
‘Jopito’ Álvarez tried to be the protagonist with good opening of the field and crosses, which at times were dangerous.
Despite moving his chips, Cúcuta could not penetrate clearly the defense of the premises.
