The actions of the América de Cali match vs. Tolima managed to play until 15 minutes, since the bad weather affected the playing field of the Estadio Olímpico Pascual Guerrero. The match valid for date 5 of Group B of the BetPlay League home run had to be temporarily suspended.

Referee Jhon Alexander Hinestroza had kicked off despite the heavy rain, as there was confidence that conditions would improve as time progressed. However, the panorama did not change, which evidently affected the grass of the sports complex and, therefore, the performance of the teams.

Faced with this situation, the judge had no option to temporarily pause the activity, agreeing on the provision with the sports institutions that were the protagonists. Given this, the players and coaching staff of América de Cali and Tolima opted to withdraw to the dressing rooms.

Meanwhile, the workers of the ‘Mechita’ made all possible efforts to reduce the adverse effects of the rain on the field of the Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium. For now, the clubs are still waiting for the decision of the authorities to be able to continue with the football match.

Let’s remember that until now, Deportes Tolima and Millonarios have eight points, but ‘Vinotinto y Oro’ is the leader of Group B by better goal difference. For its part, América de Cali has six units and this is the great opportunity to climb to first place. Finally, Alianza Petrolera, already eliminated, closes the table with three points.
