For Deportivo Cali the semifinal home run classification of Betplay 2025-I, has been complicated after 2-0 against Alliance in the framework of date 18.
Those led by Alfredo Arias must not only win their last two games, but also, expect other results to be able to aspire to occupy a place among the best eight.
The situation is not encouraging and the technical director is aware of it. At a press conference, he analyzed what happened at Armando Maestre, leaving a message to the fans' sugar.
The strategist acknowledged that the game “lost in the first two plays”, because “they lost the ball and caused the foul.”
“The team made the effort and gave what he had on the court to be able to shrink. We had some shot, which we needed to finish and this does not come from now, it is from the entire championship (…) We have missed goal,” said Arias.

Subsequently, he stressed that they dominated the commitment, but never the result. “For the first time we do not depend on ourselves, the only thing that depends as a group is that the two games add and hopefully three,” he complemented.
Fans would have insulted Cali players

At that time, he referred to the fans, especially those who attended Valledupar. “The fan has every right to be angry and I mean all the people who came, who travel from afar and come here and encourage us from beginning to end.”
Then, he told a moment of tension that was lived at the end of the commitment. “Maybe I am wrong, I sent the players to greet them and give them respect, give their face. If they insult us, we are well insulted. They reacted badly and angry, they also have their right (…) we did not go to cause, we went to face, to greet and show our respect ”he concluded.
Cali passes the page of what happened and already thinks about what will be the date 19, in which they will receive Independiente Santa Fe, next Saturday, May 17, starting at 6:00 pm (Colombia time). In case of a defeat, the 'Verdiblancos' will be eliminated.
