Match report

América de Cali saw off Alianza Petrolera 3-0 in the Clausura ninth round at the Olímpico Pascual Guerrero on Wednesday night. The hosts controlled proceedings from the outset and moved three points clear of their opponents in the table. Cristian Tovar opened the scoring in the twenty-ninth minute, picking up a pass inside the box and slotting past the goalkeeper. Alianza responded with a substitution at the break, bringing on Carlos Esparragoza for an unnamed player. Tomás Ángel doubled the lead on 48 minutes, capitalising on a defensive error. The visitors then saw Ever Meza booked before being forced to make another change. Yeison Guzmán restored his team's two-goal cushion from the penalty spot in the sixty-third minute. América worked a quick routine around the edge of the area before the referee pointed to the spot. Guzmán stepped up and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way. The visitors had a penalty appeal ruled out by VAR shortly after, but Nicolás Hernández's effort was called back. Four substitutions followed in quick succession as Alianza tried to find a way back into the game. América dominated possession with 61 per cent of the ball and created two big chances compared to their opponents' zero. They registered six shots on target against two, while their expected goals figure stood at 1.61. Alianza Petrolera managed only 0.46 expected goals and failed to test the goalkeeper meaningfully. The hosts completed 474 passes with 89 per cent accuracy, while the visitors managed 292 passes at a lower success rate. The result leaves América de Cali in fourth place with 33 points from 19 games. Alianza Petrolera remain in seventeenth position with 17 points and six defeats in their last five matches. The hosts have now kept three clean sheets on the spin and look increasingly comfortable in their push for Champions League qualification.
