Match Overview

Sellos Colombianos took control from the first whistle, pressing high and exploiting spaces behind the Semillas de Vida backline.

Tactical Story

Sellos Colombianos set up in a fluid 4-3-3 that allowed their wide players to cut inside and overload the central areas. Their high defensive line caught Semillas de Vida offside seven times, disrupting any rhythm. The midfield trio of Ortiz, Fuentes (playing as a holding midfielder before moving to centre-back), and David Londoño dominated possession (62% to 38%) and recycled the ball quickly. Semillas de Vida, in a 4-4-2, struggled to press cohesively and were frequently caught out by diagonal switches of play. Their two goals came from set pieces rather than open play, highlighting their reliance on dead-ball situations.

Standout Players

• Jhonatan Rojas (Sellos Colombianos): The substitute made a massive impact with two goals in 17 minutes, using his aerial ability and poacher's instinct.
• Javier Ortiz (Sellos Colombianos): The midfielder dictated the tempo and added a spectacular goal, completing 91% of his passes.
• Luis Padilla (CD Semillas de Vida): The home side’s captain scored a penalty and worked tirelessly, but lacked service from midfield.
