Fortaleza CEIF had the mission of giving the Junior champion a good game at the Techo stadium and taking advantage of the substitute roster that Arturo Reyes brought for this match on date 6 of Liga BetPlay 2024. In the end, it was a resounding 2-0 for the ‘Amix’, who brought down the shark for the first time this season.
The match began overwhelmingly for the ‘Amix’, who tried from the whistle to go for the first goal, achieving their prize before ten minutes of play.
Those led by Sebastián Oliveros managed to play on the left side and exploded in speed, managing to center a ball in the area, but unfortunately, Brayan Ceballos crossed the line to end up scoring an own goal.
That motivated the people of Bogota and they continued to come through with shots but Leonardo Pico, Adrián Parra and Iván Anderson did not have much luck in finishing on the chances they had.
Junior tried to shake it off, but it was difficult for him to cause danger in much of the first half, while Fortaleza defended well and was the winner in that part.
For the complement, a more intense attack from Junior was expected, but not even the variants that were on the bench managed to overturn the good tactical order that Fortaleza put in place.
In fact, Fortaleza continued to generate dangerous chances and they had several opportunities to score the second goal, but they were not good in front of the goal.
Adrián Parra and Sebastián Navarro had the best chances, but they were not fortunate enough for that ball to go in to be calmer.
Junior slowly got closer, but he didn’t find the right direction to score and he also had a confident goalkeeper in front of him like Juan Castillo.
As expected, Fortaleza’s second goal did not take long and Nicolás Rodríguez was in charge of scoring thanks to a header that ended up beating goalkeeper Jefferson Martínez.
Finally, Fortaleza knew how to manage its advantage and ended up causing Junior’s first defeat of the championship, who did not see one with his substitute.
This result left Fortaleza within the eight classified with 10 points and which are vital for relegation, while Junior was left with 13 points.
