Junior de Barranquilla is going through the most important part of the season, the decesive one, and good for them they're raising their level. In the last matches they have been playing every time better, with an incredible level that Teofilo Gutiérrez is showing, what a baller he is!
In the league, the last game of Junior was against Tolima in Barranquilla, playing the 1st game out of 2 to qualify for the next round, that is semifinals, the one that wins in the overall between the 2 matches goes to the next round. Junior won the first match with a goal from Miguel Angel Borja, the striker and signing for this season for Junior, he is helping the team with his goals, he has 12 in the league this season, the top goalscorer. Junior needs to avoid the defeat to qualify, because if they lose by 1 goal, there will be penalties, and if Junior lose by 2 they get eliminated. Lets hope they play well with a great performance from their stars, Teo Gutiérrez and Miguel Borja.
And in the Copa Conmebol Sudamericana, Junior is playing the Round of 16, yesterday, 26th November, they played against Union la Calera from Chile, Junior played the entire match really well, one of the best matches theywer having in the season, but a error from the defense cost them the goal of Union la Calera that putted the game 1-1, the goal from Junior was from Edwin Cetre from a shot outside the box, in the last minutes with the game 1-1, an incredible cross from Gabriel Fuentes reached the head of Miguel Borja, that scored an incredible header to put Junior in the lead to reach the next round, the game finished 2-1, now Junior has to maintain the 2-1 in Chile, in the game that decides if they pass or not, lets hope Teofilo and company play a great match next week to qualify.
