Independiente Santa Fe defeats Millonarios 3-2 in Bogotá derby

Independiente Santa Fe defeated Millonarios 3-2 in a high-intensity Bogotá derby at El Campín during matchday 16 of the Liga BetPlay. Despite Millonarios taking an early lead through Daniel Ruiz, Santa Fe staged a comeback with goals from Jhojan Torres, Franco Fagúndez, and Emerson Rivaldo.

The match was marked by significant developments for both clubs. Millonarios, currently navigating a coaching transition following the departure of Fabián Bustos, suffered a major blow as defender Jhomier Guerrero sustained a fibula fracture, which is expected to sideline him for two to three months. Interim coach Ómar Rodríguez noted that the squad appeared emotionally affected by the recent management changes.

Santa Fe's victory provides a boost to their standing in the championship, while Millonarios continues to search for stability in both their coaching staff and player availability.
