Jesus plays football and dresses in scarlet, just like his believers. And sometimes he comes down from heaven to do his job, like this Sunday, when with a divine whip that came out of his left foot he scored the first goal of an America that defeated Independiente Santa Fe 3-0 in the first leg of the grand final of Colombian football.

The clock struck 24 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 – 0 lead after breaking through on the left. Scorer for Leandro Castellanos was the scorer.

Minutes later, in the second half, the same short, silver-haired footballer, as if he had taken a bath of divinity, produced the second score with a shot in the area that ended up intercepting Duván Vergara to make the devils supporters. ‘they are more excited than ever with the fifteenth star, which after the resumption of football in September, seemed far away, but is now visible in the sky.

American party. That would be the best way to define Cali’s night this Sunday, with a Pascual Guerrero who was empty due to biosecurity measures but surrounded by the vital energy of those fans who showed up with gunpowder and prayers, especially prayers, those Jesus listened to the command of a compact midfielder capable of demolishing any rival, as eight days ago, at Barranquilla and as a few weeks ago, at Medellín.

The game started, however, with a ball on the bat of Santa Fe, the best team in the reclassification, but this Sunday it seemed overwhelmed by the dominance of the red team from Valle.

Dixon Renteria got up and hit the ball in the Graterol area, but the crossbar was blocked, blocking Bogotá’s shout for a goal.

But that, far from scaring America, led him to advance his lines to begin building the path of the star.

First it was Yesus and Duván, and at the end of the game, when the celebration seemed complete, Santiago Moreno’s little big arrived to receive a change of the left front with precision and define as if he had played professionally for ten years. , thus putting the cherry for dessert, the gift that the tree lacked.

This Sunday, on Pascual land, Santa Fe did not exist. He was wiped out by a red team in a state of pure grace, who next Sunday, in Bogotá, will fight to take the step he needs to shout champion again. There is no doubt: Jesus is American.
