Cucuta secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Alianza Valledupar at the Estadio General Santander in a Primera A encounter marked by several yellow cards and a dramatic second-half turnaround. The home side drew first blood in the 27th minute when J. Peralta found the net with an assist from himself, giving Cucuta a slender lead. However, Alianza Valledupar responded strongly, with C. Vergara levelling the scores just before halftime, also assisted by himself. The second half saw a flurry of bookings for both teams, but it was Cucuta who ultimately found the decisive moment. In the 63rd minute, J. Peralta struck again, this time set up by L. Berdugo, to reclaim the lead for Cucuta, a lead they managed to hold onto until the final whistle despite a late surge of yellow cards for both sides.
