Copa Sudamericana, Millonarios vs Cali, unmissable duels, Mackalister Silva, Agustin Palavecino...

As luck would have it and soccer will dictate judgment: this Wednesday, Millonarios and Deportivo Cali will be measured at the El Campín stadium in Bogotá, in the second phase of the South American Cup.

The news of each cast is almost like day and night: green is third in the 2020 Betplay I League, with 30 units and the peace of mind of relieving its payroll from now until the end of the round all against all; while the blue played a real final in the auction of the tournament, since it barely adds 18 units and now only has the illusion of mathematics.

However, the international lathe is a new scenario, here everyone starts from zero and goes hand in hand for the competition that can save this chaotic year 2020.

On the court, very interesting duels that can be enjoyed in El Campín:

Cristian Arango vs David González

Cristian Arango, the man who has taken over the task of attacking Millonarios will have as his rival a former champion and veteran goalkeeper, now defending the colors of Deportivo Cali: David González.

Arango has 14 games in the year and 5 goals while his rival has 18 games. Speed ​​of the first and reaction of the second, a heads up with a reserved forecast.

Matías de los Santos vs Angelo Rodríguez

The return of the Uruguayan to the blue behind has been a key piece to regain some balance. But this Wednesday, in El Campín, he will have a serious headache: Angelo Rodríguez.

The man who comes from Velez will measure forces with whoever made Tolima a fearsome team and then brought his goals to MLS. Both need a game for consolidation and the South American Cup seems ideal. The first has 9 games as a starter, which speaks of his firmness in Gamero’s team, while the second has 12 games and 4 goals, numbers that have allowed him to gain the trust of DT Alfredo Arias.

David Mackalister Silva vs Agustín Palavecino

Very happy news for the Millonarios fans was to see David Mackalister Silva again in the squad, finally recovered from his injury. The one that, on the other hand, is not so exciting, is that he will see a man who is pure inspiration and who lives a great moment at Deportivo Cali that has been safe and lethal in attack after the pause due to the pandemic: Agustín Palavecino.

They are two players with creative talent, passing and definition. One will arrive without competition but with enthusiasm and at a key moment for his club, while the other is the hope on which the season rests in sporting and economic terms.

The blue has 8 games and 2 goals in all of 2020, while the Argentine has 18 games and 11 goals. The imbalance, in numbers, is evident. But history will be written in the field of El Campín.
