Deportivo Pasto secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over America de Cali at the Olímpico Pascual Guerrero, a match marred by a flurry of cards and a late winner. The first half saw both sides struggle for control, with numerous yellow cards issued to Joyce Esteban Ossa Rios and Dany Rosero, among others. The complexion of the game dramatically shifted just before halftime when America de Cali's Jean Paulo Fernandes Filho received a red card, leaving them a man down. Despite the numerical disadvantage, America de Cali battled, making several tactical substitutions. However, it was Deportivo Pasto who ultimately broke the deadlock in the 78th minute. Diego Gabriel Chavez found the back of the net, assisted by Hervin Goyes, to put the visitors ahead. The closing stages were equally eventful, with further bookings and a late red card for Deportivo Pasto's Enrique Serje, but Chavez's solitary strike proved enough to seal a hard-fought win.
