After seven games without winning, Millonarios has ended its losing streak in nothing more and nothing less than in the capital classic where it beat Independiente Santa Fe 3-1. Daniel Cataño, Santiago Giordana and Diego Hernández (against) scored the goals for the Albiazules while Hugo Rodallega scored for the cardinals.
In the first half, Santa Fe had its first approach at 17′ in a play in which Diego Novoa went wrong in his own half as the ball hit Hugo Rodallega and there the forward bothered the goalkeeper, but Novoa stayed with the ball again.
At around 25′, Jorge Arias had Millonarios’ first in a left-footed free kick that went over the top. After this play, the defender had to leave the field due to a possible injury.
In the 33rd minute, Daniel Moreno received a great lobbed pass from Rodallega and there Novoa went wrong and committed a penalty against the Cardinal footballer. A few minutes later, Rodallega made the charge from the twelve steps.
However, Millonarios came with everything. In the 42nd minute, Daniel Cataño tied the score with a great header after a cross from Jhoan Hernández and three minutes later, Santiago Giordana would be in charge of making it 2-1 with a great first-time volley after a corner kick from Daniel Ruiz
Already in the second half, Millonarios continued with its great offensive. First it was Macalister Silva who attempted a mid-range shot that went slightly wide. Later, Hernández tried another shot from the right from the edge of the area, which this time went into the hands of Juan Espitia.
Santa Fe reacted to twenty in the final with Rodallega who took a shot that barely passed the side of Novoa’s goal. However, three minutes later, the albiazul attacked from the right with Cataño and there the ’10’ threw a cross that hit Diego Hernández and went inside the cardinal goal.
In the end, Santa Fe tried to score with crosses, but Millonarios defended well and maintained the result to win the classic.
With this result, those led by Alberto Gamero rose to ninth place with 16 points while Santa Fe is fourth with 24 points.
