Impressive finishing from Rodríguez, Colpa, Bueno (2) and Ospina secured the home win 5-3 against Rionegro Aguilas in their previous game. An amazing comeback from Petrolera last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to Colpa scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute. Attacker Rodríguez got a player rating of 7.81 in the game. "Man of the match" Rodríguez scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Prior to that match, the Alianza Petrolera manager Barrios faced defeat when travelling to Deportivo Pereira and losing 1-2.Goal-happy betting people should observe that 9 of this team's 10 most recent league matches have ended with at least three goals.
