In a closely fought encounter, Santa Fe emerged victorious over Alianza FC with a scoreline of 1-0, marking an important victory in this season’s first division. The decisive moment came just after halftime, in the 48th minute, when Santiago Mosquera found the back of the net with a well-placed shot from the penalty area following an impressive individual run down the left flank.
Santiago Mosquera was undoubtedly the standout player of the match, showcasing exceptional skills by not only scoring the only goal but also registering four attempts on target, demonstrating his offensive prowess.
Defensively, Emanuel Olivera also shone brightly, effectively clearing two threatening attempts, helping to maintain the clean sheet for Santa Fe. Head coach Francisco López opted for a 3-4-3 formation, with Andrés Mosquera guarding the goal, supported by a backline of Víctor Moreno, Joaquín Sosa, and Olivera.
