Interesting match in Colombia tonight, as Santa Fe are looking to clinch
the first place in the table against qualification hopefuls Real Garcilaso. The
Colombians only have to avoid a defeat in order to win the group, therefore a
draw would suit them well. On the other hand, Garcilaso also needs only a draw
to assure their qualification, regardless of what Tolima does in their match
against Cerro Porteno (it should be a Colombian win, as Cerro will be using a
team full of youngsters and reserves). Despite their efforts and their
incredible campaign in this competition, I still don't see Garcilaso as a team
to be reckoned with. But if they are good at one thing, that would be defending
and scoring on the counter at the perfect moment. They have lost just one game
so far, 0-3 at home against Tolima, when they tried to control the game. But
their best results came when playing as visitors, as they've beaten both Tolima
and Cerro Porteno by 1-0,. in the closing minutes of the game, after some heroic
defending. They will probably employ the same tactics today as well, because as
I've mentioned earlier, a draw would be perfect for both teams, and even if they
lose, I doubt they'll do so by more than one goal.
GL!
Garcilaso (+0.75 AH) @ 1.99, 4/10
Result: 2-0, LOST
