Once Caldas' unbeaten streak ends as América de Cali wins at Palogrande

Once Caldas saw their second‑semester unbeaten run snapped in a home match at the Palogrande stadium. A legitimate goal by Juan David Cuesta was ruled out by VAR, and midfielder Jefry Zapata was sent off at the 45th minute, leaving the team with ten men for the remainder of the game. América de Cali capitalised on the numerical advantage, with Dany Rosero heading the decisive goal in the 75th minute to secure a 1‑0 victory, ending a 19‑year winless streak in Manizales. Coach Hernán Darío Herrera’s side now has four points from three matches, while the loss and Zapata’s suspension complicate their campaign in the Liga BetPlay.
