Deportivo Pereira won a key victory against Barranquilla Junior at Hernán Ramírez Villegas for the 11th date of the Dimayor Betplay League and is still in the fight to get into the home runs. With the need to add up to three to recover the lost ground in the classic matecaña against Once Caldas, Pereira received the 'Tiburón who was motivated after qualifying for the group stage of the South American Conmebol.
For this duel, the Barranquilleros did not have the presence of their goalscorer Miguel Ángel Borja who is already concentrated with the Colombian National Team for the qualifying games against Bolivia and Venezuela respectively. For their part, the 'Aurorojos' had most of their figures, among which the 29-year-old former Independiente Medellín striker Leonardo Castro stands out.
In the first half, Juan Cruz Real's team took the initiative and that was how in the first minute of the game they had the first chance to score after a header by Fernando Uribe, after a cross by Edwin Velazco that Santiago Castaño sent the corner kick.
Over the 15 minutes, the 'currambero' team approached again with a mid-range shot from central defender Homer Martínez that went astray. At 29 minutes a wall between Fernando Uribe and Sambueza left the Argentinian hand in hand, but he slipped and despite pointing the ball the goalkeeper managed to clear the corner kick

Around 34 minutes, Deportivo Pereira genre risk on the portico of Sebastián Viera with a mid-distance shot by midfielder Jader Maza, which the Uruguayan rejected with his fists. The first half would culminate goalless in the 'Pearl of Otun'.
For the second half, Deportivo Pereira came out with a more offensive vocation and tried to surprise with shots outside the area that went astray. However, Junior was close to the first goal of the commitment in the 60th minute after a free kick taken by Hinestroza that once again starred Castaño to save the 'Matecañas'.
The local had a clear choice over the 66 game after a long pass that was left for Brayan León but he did not know how to define against Viera who controlled without problems. Four minutes later, in a similar move, Leonardo Castro gains speed in the defensive saga and threatens to then chop it with his right and send it to the back of the net.
With this result the 'Matecaña' team cut a 12-year negative streak without defeating the Barranquilla Junior in his stadium. The last time was on November 28, 2008 when he won 3-2 with a double by Carlos Darwin Quintero and Leandro Medina. Jhon Valencia and Roberto Carlos Cortes scored for the 'Rojiblancos'.
