Two players with different characteristics and one real goal: to end 2020 with a new star on your resume. Fabian Sambueza, in Santa Fe and Yesus Cabrera, in America, are in charge of the ideas in both teams, although they also contribute to sacrifice and goals.
Born in Neuquén (Argentina), Sambueza already knows what it means to be a Colombian soccer champion, albeit with a different jersey from Independiente Santa Fe. In the second half of 2018, he made the Olympic return with Junior from Barranquilla and then won the Super League 2019 with the same club, before dressing in the red shirt with white sleeves.

He came to Bogotá at a difficult time for Santa Fe when he flirted with the basement of the championship. It was also important to get the team out of the hole and into the fight.
Sambueza is ending his contract with Santa Fe this year and all indications are that he is returning to Junior. However, the Argentinian, who also had a stint at Deportivo Cali, does not want to leave empty-handed.
“When I got to the country I started in Cali there was a good atmosphere with guys who wanted to succeed and when you feel loved everything is easier because it gives confidence and peace. Now the same thing happened to me in Santa Fe, I feel the support of the people when things went well and badly, ”Sambueza told Win Sports after the quarantine, which stopped the local championship for six months.
Sambueza’s contribution to Santa Fe has been significant throughout the year, with five goals and seven assists. However, he has had two hard times: he was sent off in the match in which América eliminated them from the Colombia Cup and also in the first leg of the League semi-final against Equidad. That is why he is looking for revenge in a complicated situation for Santa Fe, in which he will have to lift 3-0 in the first leg.

In that game in which America benefited well, Yesus Cabrera was fundamental: he scored the first goal and scored the second. But since the game ended last Sunday at Pascual Guerrero, Yesus has not stopped asking for restraint from all those who carry the shield with the devil in their hearts.
It’s undefined, we got a good advantage, but Santa Fe is the best team of the year and beat multiple teams at home
“It’s not clear, we’ve had a good advantage, but Santa Fe is the best team of the year and has beaten several teams at home,” then you have to be very careful. When the teacher arrived, most didn’t believe him, but we did, that’s why we are where we are, ”Cabrera told Win Sports.
In the team that won champions a year ago with Brazilian nationalized Costa Rican Alexandre Guimaraes on the technical bench, Cabrera wasn’t the undisputed starter and, in fact, between the semifinals and the final of that championship, out of eight games, he started seven on the substitute bench. However, it was enough to contribute three goals and three assists.
The arrival of Juan Cruz Real to the US bank marked a new position for Cabrera, born 30 years ago in Cartagena. The Argentinian DT put together a 4-3-3 in which Yesus starts from the front row, next to Luis Paz, to show all his efforts from there. Although he has fewer assists than 2019 (one) and the same goals, he has contributed to sacrifice and a lot of leadership.

“Thank goodness I have found consistency in the game, in this position I have felt very good, But the end of it all is America becomes champions and then we’ll see what was done individually, ”he said.
Cabrera has learned to make the best decisions at the right times, both
Outside and in court, which is why he is central to Cruz Real’s plan.
“It was very important to maintain the joy within the group to come here. M.your colleagues sometimes tell me I’m a curmudgeon when we’re in the game, ”he said.
Sambueza and Cabrera each have a star on their resume. There are 90 minutes to know which of the two needs to update their record. The advantage is for the America player. But anything can happen in the final.
