Colombian football league and cup updates

Overview

Developments in Colombian football continue across the Torneo BetPlay Dimayor, Copa BetPlay, and Liga BetPlay. In the Torneo BetPlay Dimayor, Internacional de Palmira secured a 2-1 victory against Real Cartagena, with Alejandro Mejía scoring the decisive goal in the 85th minute. Boca Juniors de Cali also earned a 2-0 win over Real Santander, featuring goals from Juan José Salcedo Villadiego and Deyman Cortés. A high-stakes matchup between Envigado FC and Real Santander at the Polideportivo Sur stadium remains a critical contest for a top-eight spot, with Real Santander holding a two-point advantage over Envigado.

In the Copa BetPlay 2026, second-division club Barranquilla F.C. has emerged as a major disruptor, eliminating top-tier teams Junior de Barranquilla and Millonarios. Millonarios’ exit followed a 1-1 draw and a 5-4 penalty shootout loss, a match marred by a controversial, non-VAR-reviewable penalty. Following the defeat, coach Alberto Gamero stated, ‘Hicimos el ridículo’ (We made a fool of ourselves), and captain David Mackalister Silva described the performance as a ‘sporting shame.’

In the Liga BetPlay, Deportivo Cali has ascended to the top of the standings following a 3-0 victory against Llaneros, with goals from Johan Martínez, Nicolás Benedetti, and Steven ‘Titi’ Rodríguez. As the club eyes the 2027 season, management is reportedly considering the return of striker Harold Preciado, who is currently serving a doping-related suspension. Meanwhile, the relegation standings show Deportes Tolima leading with an average of 1.77, while Cúcuta Deportivo remains at the bottom. Deportivo Pereira continues to face economic and sporting challenges.
