America of Cali It is one of the historical Colombian soccer teams. With four finals in the Liberators cup (1985, 1986, 1987 and 1996) added to the 15 titles at the national level, they enter the podium of the “greats”. However, in 2011 they lost the category and the journey for promotion took them several years and many kilometers traveled. In that sense, fans from other clubs made fun of them during that period and, mainly, in the season of return to the highest category. And although the climate of laughter and charging had dropped considerably, the fans of Junior de Barranquilla wanted to resume the jokes and took the opportunity to display a group of balloons with a sheet painted with a giant B in the center. “The ghost of B”, as they called him, broke into the match, which ended with a 1-0 victory for the locals. Consequently, the combo was perfect for the Rojiblancos.

Beyond the fact that the incident lasted a few minutes until they were able to remove the “ghost”, the reality is that Junior could suffer a sanction for the behavior of the fans. In addition, there were incidents between both biases. Despite being distanced and there being no more than 15,000 people in the entire stadium, both fans threw objects from the stands and even some stones. Several people were injured and the police had to intervene so that the situation did not continue to escalate into violence.

THE COLOMBIAN LEAGUE
Junior, one of the candidates for the title, cut a three-game losing streak in the last four games and added three vital points to get back into the fight, although they are still seven points behind the leader Deportes Tolima, who has 19 points. Atlético Nacional and Millonarios are the escorts with 17, while Once Caldas has 12, but with two less disputed games. América de Cali, meanwhile, harvested just nine out of 27 possible. In turn, Deportivo Cali, the last champion, closes the standings with just four points.
