because they don’t play the Riflecito and the Jarlan

América de Cali and Atlético Nacional will meet this Saturday in the quarter-finals of the Betplay 2020 League. This first leg will start at 20:00, but 23 hours before the game, Dimayor confirmed to carry on that he will not be able to count. Andrés ‘Riflecito’ Andrade nor with Jarlan Barrera.

In Resolution 024, the highest Colombian football entity stated that “players Andrade and Barrera must pay the pending suspension date for the fifth warning, in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the BetPlay DIMAYOR League”.

This decision surprised Nacional because the team was already in Cali with the two flyers and the confirmation of their inability came less than 24 hours before the match.

Why are Andradre and Jarlan sanctioned?

Both players reached five yellow cards on the 19th date of the championship. The disqualification should take place on the 20th, in the match with Cúcuta, but that match was not played because the motiloni lost their sporting recognition and the club was disqualified.

On that 20 date, Nacional arrived at the stadium, signed the corresponding minutes and won the three points. However, as the match was not played, Dimayor decided to have that penalty taken for this quarter-final match.

The indignation of Andrade and Jarlan in their social networks

Both Jarlan Barrera and “Riflecito” Andrade have expressed in their social networks their disappointment at Dimayor’s decision.

Both players had been in team training all week and traveled to Cali for this match.
