The height once again took its toll on an Atlético Bucaramanga that tried in vain to resist the game in defense and when they wanted to change the ‘chip’ to a more offensive squad they lacked more volume and precision.
The ‘Leopardo’ cast fell 1-0 this Sunday in Pasto and in this way prolonged the bad numbers by playing at height, where under the guidance of their current coach, Armando ‘El Piripi’ Osma, they completed six games, with a win, two draws and three losses.

In four games played in the current BetPlay II League of 2022, the team from Bumangues registered four points, although they only played one game at home, and they won it.
For the tie?
In the first half there was the feeling that the Bucaro objective was to rescue the tie.
From the first minutes, a very late ‘Leopard’ team was observed, who tried to have short lines and who waited for the opponent with many men in defense.
The volcanic club, meanwhile, took center stage in the match, with possession of the ball and constant attacks from the sides.

At times Atlético managed to resist the siege of Pasto, but when it came to recovering the ball they did not know what to do with it.
Instead of ensuring dominance to stop the momentum of the Nariñenses, poor deliveries were the order of the day and thus it was impossible to think of long possessions and much less reaching the opposite goal.
When it seemed that the tie in the first period was too much reward for the Santander team, which did little in offensive matters, Pasto advanced and managed to change a penalty by Cristian Blanco for a goal, who knocked down a rival in the area.
Mariano Vásquez, at minute 41, overcame the resistance of Juan Camilo Chaverra, who until that moment had managed to get his fence undefeated with a couple of important saves.
more ambition
For the second part, the Bucaro technical director immediately made variations. Bayron Garcés, Diomar Díaz and David Gómez entered, replacing Francisco Rodríguez, Gustavo Torres and Cristhian Subero.
The first minutes of the complement were of greater intensity for the cast of the ‘Land of the Chicamocha Canyon’, which changed the ‘chip’ and went to the front with greater will, although without sufficient clarity and risk.

The Pastuso team was surprised by the rival’s new proposal, but it didn’t take long to fight again for control of the ball.
Sherman Cárdenas, Atlético’s most talented player, looked very erratic and physically diminished, to the point of being substituted after 63 minutes. In his place entered the Uruguayan Bruno Téliz
The match became more open, with two ‘elevens’ ambitious when looking for the rival goal.
But in the ‘blow by blow’ that became the meeting, who was clearer to score was precisely the owner of the house.
Bucaramanga tried, even Dayro Moreno was held and knocked down in the area, but the referee let him continue, and Pasto endured the final minutes supported by the work of his defense.
