📋 The squad: América de Cali head to Barranquilla chasing a must-win | OneFootball

América de Cali visits Junior this Sunday, with the obligation to win in order to keep their chances of reaching the final of the Liga Betplay 2025-I alive.

The team led by 'Polilla' Da Silva is coming off a loss to Deportes Tolima, who struck at the Pascual Guerrero and left América de Cali in a tough spot for qualification.

With two rounds to go, Independiente Medellín leads Group A of the semifinal quadrangulars with 10 points, and América, with two draws and one win, is second with 5 points, the same as 'Pijao'.

For the next round, the Reds need help from Tolima, precisely, so that DIM doesn’t pull away and remains within reach, while they seek an essential victory in Barranquilla.

América de Cali has been intensely anticipating the upcoming clash against Junior, as several posts attest.

The official list of players called up was released just minutes ago, and there are no new absences, so the Scarlet team travels to Barranquilla with their best lineup.

To Barranquilla to fight

Juan Fernando Quintero, a key figure and the main driving force of this team, spoke before the match. "To Barranquilla to fight," he said, knowing it will be a tough duel, even though César Farías' team is already out of contention.

"Emotionally, tomorrow we have to get back up and play our match, go to Barranquilla and do our job, look for the win. We have no margin for error," said Quintero, who had a good start against Tolima after recovering from his ankle injury.

"We’re going to Barranquilla to fight," affirmed Juanfer. "Everything is still alive. As long as there is hope and we have the chance to win these two games, it’s possible that we qualify for the final."
