Developments: 7. América de Cali cemented its early‑season surge with a 7‑0 demolition of Boyacá Chicó, a win that lifted the club to a provisional joint lead of the Liga BetPlay II alongside Deportes Tolima, Águilas Doradas and Independiente Medellín. Yeison Guzmán, Dany Rosero and Kevin Angulo each netted twice, while Luis Quiñones and Daniel Rosero added the remaining goals. This victory marked the club’s first-ever seven-goal margin. Atlético Nacional also secured three points with a 3‑0 victory over Jaguares de Córdoba in Montería. The match was suspended for approximately half an hour following violent clashes among supporters, resulting in minor injuries to 20 spectators and a serious injury to a police officer. While Nacional retained the points, the club faces potential fines and stadium sanctions. Montería’s mayor noted that a pre‑match agreement to bar organized barra groups was ignored. On 7 August, América de Cali ended Once Caldas' long unbeaten run with a 1‑0 victory at the Palogrande stadium, fueled by a Dany Rosero header. This victory maintained América's perfect record, placing them at the top of the Clausura 2026 standings with three wins and a goal difference of 10 to 0. In a highly anticipated classic at the Pascual Guerrero stadium, América de Cali defeated Atlético Nacional 1-0. Yeison Guzmán scored the decisive goal early in the second half following an assist from Rafael Carrascal. Although Nacional’s Cristian Arango saw a late equalizer disallowed by VAR for a handball by William Tesillo, the result left América de Cali with a perfect record of 12 points from four matches and zero goals conceded. Under manager David González, the club has maintained this perfect record, having scored 11 goals and conceded none through four matches, securing the top position in the standings. The defeat marked Atlético Nacional’s first loss of the semester. ## Claims - América de Cali beat Boyacá Chicó 7-0 at Pascual Guerrero, taking the provisional league lead with six points and a +9 goal difference.
