Deportes Tolima received Juan Carlos Osorio's América de Cali at Manuel Murillo Toro in Ibagué in the complement of the 13th date of the Dimayor Betplay League. Both teams needed to return on the path of triumph.

Those led by Hernán Torres came from two dates without knowing the victory in the league after a defeat to Patriotas Boyacá and a draw as a visitor last day against Once Caldas de Manizales.

For its part, the América de Cali in a more critical situation after accumulating two dates without winning against Patriotas and Independiente Medellín with which it also succumbed to the South American Conmebol.

In the first minutes Deportes Tolima went out in search of the result and was hurting America on the sides with Jeison Lucumí, on the left, and Anderson Plata, on the right.

In the 11 minutes the pressure would take effect after a cross for the right sector of Anderson Plata, to present the law of the former through Michael Rangel, who was champion and figure with America in 2019.

The 'Vinotinto' came close to extending the lead in the 28th minute after a right-handed shot by Jeison Lucumí after a cross from Anderson Plata for the former Atlético Nacional to finish with a right hand at the hands of Noboa.

When the 39th minute passed, Michel Rangel would score again, but the score was canceled by Carlo Mario Herrera on the outside a hand of Anderson Plata, the most unbalanced man of the first half.

For the second half, Juan Carlos Osorio moved the bench of substitutes after sending Daniel Hernández to the field for Alejandro Quintana and Daniel Mosquera for Yaliston Márquez. It should be noted that at 9 of the first half Larry Ángulo entered by Déinner Quiñones due to injury.

The changes gave a second wind to the 'Red Devils' that generated a game by the bands making Tolima look bad for some parts of the match.

The clearest play for the draw came around the 77th minute after a left cross by Daniel Hernández that Segura connected, but the right-back, Junior Hernandez, managed to save Tolima after clearing the ball at the finish line.

At 86 minutes the 'Pijao' was close to the second after a heel by Juan Fernando Caicedo who intercepted the saga of the 'Mechita' to drown out the local goal cry.

América de Cali is in fifteenth place with fifteen units and their qualification to the home runs is quite compromised. On the next date he will receive the 'Ambassador' while Tolima will visit Deportivo Pereira at Hernán Ramírez Villegas.

This week it became known that Deportes Tolima will be part of Group D of the Conmebol Libertadores where it will face Independiente Valle de Ecuador, America MG and Atlético Mineiro from Brazil. His debut will be against the 'Gallos' in local condition on April 6.
