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.
