Silva's shot from half distance at ground level, the goalkeeper Viera could not do anything, because the ball went in through the edge of the left post and now Millonarios goes up in the series.

Millonarios returned to strong play and fouls in the middle of the field.

Cataño's shot, after a good collective play, passed very close to the right post of Viera's goal.

First minutes of the second half, Junior comes out with a different mentality and wants to have a more offensive game.

The ball is moving in Bogota and the final is defined. We play the last 45 minutes of the 2022 Cup.

Millonarios began to fill up with fouls, Junior approached the opponent's area with set pieces and the match at the end of the first half was no longer so dynamic.

Luis Carlos Ruíz was cautioned for a foul in the opponent's half.

Final stretch of the first half, the fast game is maintained, with few fouls and delivery of both teams.

A lot of intensity, the referee lets them play and everything is very dynamic.

Again Moreno had another chance, he shot in front of the goal alone and Montero made a save, the play ended up being invalidated for offside.

Fue mano a favor de Junior, el árbitro dejó seguir, era contra para Millonarios, pero el árbitro recibió un llamado del asistente 2 y devolvió la jugada, para darle la pelota quieta a Junior, justo cuando Luis Carlos Ruíz llegaba solo frente a Viera.

Junior began to loosen up and put more men in the opponent's half, still not creating real danger, but starting to push their opponents away from Viera's area.

First half hour, the series is already tied and Millonarios keeps attacking.

On the other hand, Junior is holding back, but it is very difficult for them at times, and in attack, they have very few men, only Gonzalez and Cetré.

Another shot by Millonarios, now from Vargas, but the ball went wide.

 

Junior arrived with a cross from a free kick, the ball was thrown from right to left, Moreno arrived at the far post, but when he shot, the assistant 1 raised the flag for offside and the play was over.

Junior has already been in the opponent's area on a couple of occasions, but always arrives with numerical inferiority and for that reason still fails to create danger in Montero's goal.

The local team has already managed to tie the series and now it is time to work to make up the difference, but with more tranquility.

The goalkeeper to his left hand, the ball to the roof of the goal and into the middle, Junior's lead lasted 18 minutes and everything is tied.

Cataño's cross from the right, the ball went in tight and goalkeeper Viera had to keep his hands out to prevent it from ending in a goal.

Junior retreats and takes risks, but comes out very quickly when it recovers and gradually approaches Millonarios' area.

Cataño's shot from half distance, the ball passed close to Junior's goal and once again the local team arrived with danger.

Gómez's shot inside the area, goalkeeper Viera made a save, gave the rebound and the defense helped to reject it.

The ball rolls at the Campín and the match begins in the city of Bogotá. This exciting match that will tell us who will be the champion of the BetPlay 2022 Cup is already underway.

The captains' draw has been made, everything is ready and the only thing missing is the referee's order to start tonight's match.

The referee gives the order and both teams leave at the same time, behind the referees. 
The anthem of Colombia is played, then the anthem of the city of Bogota and after that the captains are drawn.

Teams in the mixed zone, the players greet each other, they are friends and colleagues, only the order of the central referee is missing, so that they go out to the field and the match begins.

Everything is ready for the teams to take the field, it is expected that at any moment they will be in the mixed zone and together with the referee team, they will take the field to start tonight's match. 
The stadium has a good atmosphere and the only thing missing is for the protagonists to move the ball.
