The scarlet team is another of the greats that is in difficulties, although -unlike Millonarios and Atlético Nacional- managed to get a break the previous day with its 2-0 victory over Alianza FC at the Pascual Guerrero to reach 12 points, climb positions and give air to the Farías era, by shortening the distance with the classification group.
Goals from Rodrigo Holgado and Edward López allowed Rojo de Cali to end a streak of seven games without winning, including the Copa Sudamericana, a tournament from which they said goodbye after losing 2-1 precisely to Alianza. Now the focus is on adding three in El Campín, where Fortaleza will receive them.
The Diablos’ campaign, who will not have Víctor Ibarbo in Bogotá due to his expulsion, has three wins, three draws and five losses. A demanding schedule awaits with games against Boyacá Chicó, Medellín, Junior and Deportivo
Cali. Meanwhile, under the medical eye are defender Andrés Mosquera Guardia and midfielders Alexis Zapata and Óscar Hernández.
