América debuts in the Betplay II League with a draw in Villavicencio against Llaneros

Llaneros and América opened the 2025-II BetPlay League with a 0-0 draw in Villavicencio. The teams debuted the second half with a draw, which left a bitter taste in the mouth for the Cali team, who had the clearest chances and were also favorites to take all three points.

The home goalkeeper's lack of finishing and skill prevented the team led by Diego Raomondi, the coach making his debut in the league, from celebrating. This game, which had a unique broadcast, ended with each team scoring a point.

The Bello Horizonte Rey Pelé Stadium witnessed the first match of the 2025-II BetPlay League. América was significantly superior there, but they never managed to open the scoring.

The Scarlet team's superiority was evident throughout the 90 minutes, with more than ten shots and over 50% possession, allowing them to control the game. Although there was a lack of definition, the point in Villavicencio is of great importance in this start to the championship.

For Llaneros, they were unable to reduce the "escarlata" (scarlet) power in the middle of the game, which featured a change in the TV broadcast due to problems on the road from Bogotá to Villavicencio that prevented the necessary equipment from being transported. As a result, VAR was also not available.

It was in the second half that the Red Devils dominated the game, but the chances they did create were either saved by goalkeeper Miguel Ortega or simply deflected. Thus, the first match of the 2025-II BetPlay League ended in a 0-0 draw.
