The games that never stop

By: Lugo | May 28th, 2009

While the world stands in awe to praise F.C. Barcelona and their wonderful football, the Colombian game keeps on going and even I have a hard time trying to keep up with it. I had to go on a forced hiatus right before I was going to post a review of weekend’s games and guess what? The second matchday was already played last night! So I guess I have no other choice but to move forward along with the show.

In group A, Once Caldas got the lead with 4 points after a controversial win against Boyacá Chicó over the weekend and their away draw at Equidad of last night. Chicó could not stand back properly after the loss and got a 1-1 home draw against Tolima. Equidad did not capitalize on their weekend away draw at Tolima and got served of the same soup at home.

In group B, Cali and Junior are failing to live up to their expectation of favourites and let Cucuta and Envigado climb to the top even after a home draw with Envigado. Surprisingly enough, the warriors got a 2-1 away victory at Cali’s Pascual Guerrero stadium. Meanwhile, the oranges of Envigado delivered at home with at 1-0 victory over Junior.

With 4 matches left, it is still early on the game to think about a clear favourite for the finals, but what’s certain is that teams like Junior, Cali, Chicó, Tolima and Equidad are going to have to improve dramatically if they want to aim for it. Some of these team’s performances so far do not match what they showed us during the regular season. It would be better for their own sake if they start doing so.

I’ll come back as soon as I can before this weekend’s games. Or at least i’ll try. With the FPC, sometimes I feel like i’m trying to chase this thing:
