Nacional was the sole leader of Quadrangular A of the BetPlay League after beating Bucaramanga 1-0 as a visitor. This Tuesday they also played Millonarios and Júnior, who drew goalless in Bogotá.
Nacional came out more clearly in the first minutes of the match. The visitor was intense and got ahead of the scoreboard, although it was annulled for an offside. From that point on, the Leopards took the initiative and dominated the match.

Kevin Mier had a brilliant save at the end of the first half. Johan Caballero tried from mid-range with a shot to the left corner, but the purslane goalkeeper deflected it to the corner kick. Minutes later, Bucaramanga tried again from outside the area and the ball went wide.
The second half started with the leopards putting Nacional against the ropes. The locals were close to opening the scoring through winger Kevin Pérez, who finished first after receiving a cross and sent it high. To recover the ball, Paisa coach Hernán Darío Herrera sent Yeison Guzmán and Jhon Duque onto the field.

The purslane returned to dominate the match after the changes and began to generate danger. At minute 57 Dorlan Pabón was shot down in the area by goalkeeper Juan Chaverra and moments later he opened the scoring from 12 steps. With that goal, Nacional was consolidated at the top of the group.
