Tolima scored two penalty kicks to unsurprisingly win against Union Magdalena. Union Magdalena drew first blood and scored the first goal of the match in the 17th minute. Union Magdalena hit Tolima on the break and it ended up with Joel Contreras hitting a left footed shot to the top right corner from the left side of the box after a pass by Isaac Camarago. However, it didn’t take long for Tolima to find an equalizer. Yeison Guzman hit a right footed shot from outside the box but it was blocked by Nicolas Gil Uribe, but after a VAR review it showed that the ball hit the arm of Nicolas Gil Uribe and he was booked and a penalty kick was awarded. Diego Herazo took the PK and converted it into the bottom right corner to bring the scores level in the 23rd minute. Tolima got awarded another PK after Ronaldo Lora fouled Diego Herazo inside the 18 yard area. Yeison Guzman scored the penalty with a right footed shot into the bottom right corner in the 37th minute to give Tolima the lead. Union Magdalena played better in the second half as both sides made several changes at various instances. However, neither of the two teams could find the back of the net and no big chance was created in the second half. Six yellow cards were shown in the match, three to each team. Union Magdalena have just one win in the last five matches, losing three and drawing one. They scored six goals and conceded nine goals through the five matches.
Independiente Medellin (DWWWD)
Deportivo Pasto did incredibly well to outplay Independiente Medellin and hold them to a goalless draw in the last round of games. Both teams shared the possession equally in both the first and second half. But despite that, Deportivo Pasto attacked intensely in the first half and had a whooping 13 shots while limiting third place Independiente Medellin to just three. Daniel Torres received a yellow card in the 45th minute for a bad foul. Both sides made several changes in the second half in hopes of breaking the deadlock but no goals came. Independiente Medellin are unbeaten in the last five matches, winning three and drawing two matches. They scored seven goals and conceded just three across the five league matches.
Extra Betting Tips
Independiente Medellin are by far the more superior team and are favorites going into the game. But given that they have nothing to play for again and Union Magdalena are at home, it won’t be unsurprising to see a Union Magdalena win or draw the game.
