However, the warning sound in his own porch made the ‘pijao’ take the reins of the commitment and began to overwhelm the team led by Hubert Bodhert.
The great figure of the first half was the visiting goalkeeper, Jhon Figueroa, who knew how to avoid two of the four direct shots on goal by Tolima.
The start of the second half was a continuation of the end of the first, as Deportes Tolima seemed desperate not to find the goal and mounted on top of Jaguares de Córdoba: in the first 15 minutes of the complement, the ‘pijao’ finished three times.
In fact, in one of those dangerous actions, forward Kevin Pérez angrily complained to the central judge Diego Ulloa because he was asking for a corner kick in his favor, which was not given.

With the victory in their favor, Tolima retreated into their own field waiting for the offensive transitions that could end the match, thus opening the door for the second goal through Brayan Gil Hurtado.
