Happiness is double. The emotion multiplies. Junior, who will play the final of the League Águila II with Medellín, entered the history last night beating Santa Fe 1-0 and qualifying for its first international final, the Copa Sudamericana, where the Brazilian Atlético Paranaense will be thrown away. Sharks will fetch the double crown! An unprecedented fact for any Colombian club up to now.
Teófilo Gutiérrez, at the 22nd minute, with a goal that required the blessing of the VAR, made the whole stage burst with joy.
Putting the soul, the heart and all the rest, the rojiblancos were imposed to the Cardinals although they played a large part of the second half with only nine men during the evictions of Teófilo Gutiérrez and Gabriel Fuentes.
The beginning of the match was rustic. Santa Fe, as one would expect, lobbied Junior with aggression and desire, but with little creativity and football.
The first 20 minutes proved difficult for the host. During that time, he did not see the face of the foreign goalkeeper. He fell into the difficult game of the visitor, who took advantage of his specialty and took advantage of constant fouls to lift the ball and try to complicate José Luis Chunga, who was hesitant in a few shots of Diego Guastavino.
However, the intensity of the Cardinals to fight the ball was reduced and the clear players like Cantillo, Sánchez, Jarlan, Teófilo and in general all the rojiblancos began to appear with more continuity in the touch.
Junior started to approach the opponent's surface and after a corner he found the goal that broke the cellophane.
Teófilo took advantage of a poisoned balloon of Jarlan and almost pushed the ball up to the ball in the line. Assistant Hernán Maidana indicated that he was not in his place, the referee suspended the action and went to the VAR to verify that the Barranquilla attacker had done well. been activated.
The spectators exploded with joy after the criticism in the VAR with the same emotion as when Teo scored.
Santa Fe was against the ropes and Junior could give the final blow by inflicting a penalty on Arooleda. However, Solis cut the white point charge to James Sanchez.
The frustration of the missed sanction was multiplied in the last minutes of the first stage with the red card received by Teófilo Gutiérrez for a supposed aggression against Arboleda who, during the rehearsal, was not appreciated in a diaphanous manner. Claims and requests for badysis of the move in the VAR were unnecessary, the Argentinian center Patricio Loustau remaining in his decision to expel the attacker.
Whatever it is, Junior went to the break with the advantage of 1-0 (3-0 overall).
In the second half, with one man less, the heat Julio Comesaña left more cautious and gave the initiative to Santa Fe, who could not find a way to get into the rojiblancos despite the fact that he was in charge. digital advantage of footballers.
Not even when Junior was with nine men for another eviction, that of Fuentes, that yes more acceptable and clearer, for a stupid gesture that resulted in a second reprimand.
Comesaña needed David Murillo instead of Jarlan Barrera to rearm his defense.
With the nine men on the pitch and the impetus of an enlightened audience (who played the game with everything), Junior donned his jumpsuit and began defending with perrenque and intelligence his victory and this historic ranking at its first international final.
Santa Fe helpless, Junior well standing. Nothing to do. With the pbading of the game, perhaps offsetting, referee Loustau has expelled Arley Rodriguez and Guastavino. Thus, the series was practically doomed.
All, absolutely all Junior players, behaved like warriors who realized the dream of two ends at the same time by putting their souls and their hearts.
