This Thursday, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the BetPaly Cup, Millonarios beat Jaguares at El Campín, by a score of 3-0 and enforced his home status to be respected. Gamero's team liked and thrashed. According to the DT, in this match they were thinking of Independiente Santa Fe, the rival of the next match for the BetPlay League. They dominated from beginning to end, and they even had left to make paintings.
Although the visitors' approach was rather poor, Millonarios did not trust himself and posed a game without thinking entirely about the rival's condition. The goal was to develop his game, true to his idea, regardless of the opponent. Millonarios had a 57% possession, seven shots to the goal and three goals. A bright night for Daniel Ruiz and Mackalister Silva, who commanded the blue attack. The captain attended the first goal and the youth scored the second and attended the third. They got together in several passages of the game and made the party. Millionarios, after three games, ended a game again without receiving a goal. The last one had been against Junior, in the league.

Millionarios and Jaguars had already met this season, by league. That meeting left a victory for the capital, who won by 2-1, in the city of Monteria. Yesterday, in front of nearly 17,000 fans, they had the luxury of showing off their good game and fine-tuning details that have not been working well. The score opened in the 13th minute, with a goal from Andrés Llinás, who scored on the head and left the rival goalkeeper without a choice. It is the defender's first score so far in 2022.
Throughout the first half, the blue team dominated at will, completely suppressing Jaguares, who did not manage to generate danger at any time before the goal guarded by Álvaro Montero. In the last minutes of the first half came the second goal. Daniel Ruíz was in charge, with a wonderful play. He left a rival on the road, after making a feint, and then finished mid-distance to the left hand stick. Golon and 2 - or partial.
The second part was not very different, in terms of the hierarchy imposed by the blues. They arrived on several occasions and goalkeeper Mina, from the rival team, responded in a good way. Had it not been for their interventions, the game would have ended with more goals. One of the clearest options was at the feet of David Mackalister Silva, who entered very well after a collective play that puzzled the left side. He finished crossover and sent the football very close to the right post.
The third goal of the blues would come by Diego Herazo, who sent the ball to save, beating them all in the jump. Nothing to do for the people of Monteria. 3 - 0 and Millionarios kept looking. However, over the last minutes of the match, those from Bogotá dedicated themselves to taking care of their score, slowing down the pace of the game and placing themselves in the back. With this victory, the team took the lead in the first match for the cup tournament, which if they won it would give them a place in the Copa Libertadores the following year. The second leg will be played on the Jaguares court, in the first days of May.
