Millonarios vs Junior will be facing each other on the final of the Copa BetPlay. The “sharks” will play against a completely different Millonarios than in the first leg game, as the results and the mood of a team that seemed to be the best in the championship declined in the final stretch of the league.
This match will be an opportunity for Alberto Gamero to regain the confidence of his fans, although he will face a strong Junior team with a 1-0 lead. The importance of this tournament, beyond the prize money, lies mainly in the possibility of securing a place in the next edition of the Copa Libertadores de América.
