Santa Fe he left behind one of his ghosts, his departure Michael Rangel, and showed his strength again in El Campín, where he has not lost at home for more than a year. The last defeat was on August 22, 2019, against America.
There are already 24 games in which the Reds will rest with points in their pockets, this time, winning 1-0 at Patriots, who started the game with a lot of enthusiasm and disappeared with the passing of the minutes.

The only goal of the match was scored by a former Patriotas player, who had just arrived at the cardinal’s house: Jhon Arias Carlos Mosquera had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with Johan Caballero.
Santa Fe, I said, left behind the ghost of the departure of his “9”, thanks to his collective performance, with the sacrifice of Jorge Luis Ramos, the man who, on paper, was like a spearhead and with the arrival of the heads and sides . Thus he managed to extinguish the momentum of Patriotas, who at first had asked for a lot but gradually ran out of air and without football, especially after the Spanish DT Abel Segovia took out Santiago Orozco, the best player in his team.

If Rangel’s ghost leaves, there’s another one that, if neglected, can bring headaches to Santa Fe: the missed penalties. 66 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Héctor Solano substitution. Arias was the appointed referee with assistance provided by. Fáiner Torijano charged down the left and had a wonderful opportunity to score the equalizer for Carlos Mosquera, but the shot went well wide of the goal.
This is the second punishment Santa Fe has missed this year. Rangel, before leaving, threw the first against Nacional in Medellín, on the first day.

Santa Fe did not go through major shocks to grow undefeated at home and stay in first place. He even had a second goal, scored by Daniel Giraldo, on a piece invalidated for offside. At least for the local tournament, the team led by Hárold Rivera shows that it has something to fight with.
