Deportivo Pereira overcame a complicated, flat, difficult match, and beat Águilas Doradas 2-1 to consolidate itself as the sole leader of the BetPlay I-2024 League.
Coaches’ duel between Leonel Álvarez and Hernán Darío Gómez, which ended in favor of the Matecaña coach thanks to a still ball play.
It was not easy, as Águilas took the lead in the 15th minute, thanks to Agustín Vuletich’s good finish. However, the Hernán Ramírez Villegas stadium did not remain silent, and with that support the tie came quickly.
At minute 20, the person in charge of scoring the 1-1 was Faber Gil, who made the fans vibrate, in a hot, well-played and very dynamic first half.
The second half was the opposite of the first, as the game had several boring, tangled passages.
However, in the 89th minute came Pereira’s winning goal, with a goal from Yeison Suárez, to make it 2-1 and confirm Matecaña as the solid leader of the Colombian championship.
