Millonarios Match Boyacá Chicó

Bogotá, Colombia — Millonarios FC is gearing up for a significant match against Boyacá Chicó on Sunday, May 25, as they aim to secure a spot in the upcoming semifinal round of Liga Colombiana I-2025. With only one game left in the ‘todos contra todos’ phase, the outcome will determine if Millonarios can achieve the coveted ‘punto invisible’.

Currently, Millonarios sits fourth in the standings with 35 points, competing closely with América and Tolima, who lead with 36 points each. Following closely behind are Atlético Nacional with 35 points and Junior with 34 points. A win against Chicó is crucial for Millonarios’ hopes of advancing.

Coach David González announced the squad for this match, revealing some notable absences. Forward Kevin Palacios will miss the match due to a penalty miss in the last game against Envigado, while goalkeeper Nicolás Montero is suspended due to a recent incident. There is a possibility that Montero could miss additional matches if selected for the June FIFA date.

On a positive note, defender Jorge Arias has returned to training after recovering from an injury. His inclusion in the matchday squad is expected, allowing him to build match fitness before the semifinals.

The match will take place at the iconic Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín in Bogotá, where a full stadium is anticipated, as fans are eager to support their team in this critical encounter.

In addition to Arias, Millonarios will also see midfielder Dewar Victoria potentially return after injury, pending medical clearance from recent tests. Victoria endured a sprained ankle during a match against Deportivo Pereira and is hopeful to contribute in the semifinals.

As the club readies for this decisive clash, the coaching staff and fans remain optimistic about Millonarios’ chances of advancing in the tournament.
