Cartagena enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Atletico Huila's place. The match ended 3-2 with Charrupí, Robledo and Pedrozo scoring. Sweet to taste a league win after four fixtures without. Manager Passo felt very clever after Robledo scored the winning goal against Atletico Huila, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 46th minute.
Before that game, the home loss against Leones FC with the scoreline 0-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Real Cartagena perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
