Colombian football tournament developments

Overview

Developments in Colombian football include Independiente Medellín eliminating Deportivo Pasto 4-1 in the Copa Colombia, following a period of travel tension where the Medellín delegation was forced to return to Cali after failed landing attempts in Pasto due to weather. In the same tournament, América de Cali secured a place in the quarter-finals of the Copa BetPlay Dimayor after a 4-1 victory over Deportivo Pereira. This win followed a previous 3-0 victory against Alianza FC. América de Cali was scheduled to face Deportivo Pasto in the Torneo Finalización on September 14. In the Liga BetPlay II-2026, Deportivo Pasto secured their first victory of the season by defeating league leaders América de Cali 1-0 at the Pascual Guerrero stadium. The match was decided by a 78th-minute header from Diego Chávez after América’s goalkeeper, Jean Fernandes, was sent off during first-half stoppage time. This result ended a nearly five-month winless streak for Pasto. Despite the loss, América de Cali remained at the top of the standings with 20 points. In a subsequent matchday 11 fixture, América de Cali played to a 1-1 draw against Deportes Tolima. América de Cali played with ten men for over an hour following a direct red card to Jhon Murillo in the 37th minute, but managed to secure the draw, moving to 21 points. Independiente Medellín recently achieved a 2-1 comeback victory against Jaguares de Córdoba. More recently, Medellín secured a 2-1 victory over América de Cali at the Pascual Guerrero stadium. The match featured a disallowed goal for América via VAR and the expulsion of defender Dany Rosero before halftime. Controversy arose in the 49th minute when a penalty awarded to América was overturned by VAR, prompting criticism from player Luis Quiñones.
