Atlético Nacional beats Jaguares de Córdoba and puts pressure on Millonarios

With air in the shirt after the victory last day in the classic paisa against Deportivo Independiente Medellín, Atlético Nacional received Jaguares from Córdoba who also came from celebrating against Deportivo Pasto at the Jaraguay Stadium in Monteria.

At the beginning of the meeting, those led by Cesar Fernando Torres imposed conditions and generated danger in the Aldair Quintana arc that returned to the title of the 'King of Cups'.

Hernán Darío Herrera's team responded with mid-distance shots through Andrés 'El Rifle' Andrade and Dorlan Pabón, who passed very close to the goal guarded by Jorge Soto.

Over the 21 minutes of play, Nacional opened the score thanks to Jarlan Barrera, who after a cross from Juan Sebastián Cabal, defined with his left leg the right post of the goalkeeper who remained static.

The local eleventh went in search of the second goal and was close after another shot by Dorlan Pabón that the visiting goalkeeper controlled in two halves.

For the second half, Nacional came out with the same booklet to expand the account, however, at 59 minutes the law of the ex would be asserted, after Andrés Rentería's score after a millimeter pass by Juan Castellanos, so that the left-footed 'Topo' will equalize the contest.

The Monterian team seemed to confirm with the draw and Nacional attacked more eagerly than with football. However, the entry of Rugery Blanco and Giovanny Moreno had an effect on the 78 minutes when former Unión Magdalena caused a rebound from Soto that finally ended up holing Hector Urrego's own door.

The engagement would be marred by the expulsion of Andrés Renteria after angrily protesting to Judge Norberto Ararat who did not hesitate to get his second yellow card.

The rematch would come for Rugery Blanco in the 92 minutes after a cross from Dorlan Pabón that initially remained to Sebastián Gómez who headed to the left zone of Soto who again gave a rebound that was left to the striker who with the right put the final 3-1.

With this result Atlético Nacional is second with 23 points the same as Millonarios who has the best goal difference and that tomorrow will face Once Caldas at Nemesio Camacho El Campín.
