In a closely contested fixture between Atletico Junior Barranquilla and Once Caldas, the match was ultimately decided by a combination of discipline and clinical finishing. Atletico Junior took an early lead in the first half, capitalizing on a defensive lapse by Once Caldas. However, their inability to extend the lead before halftime proved costly. The visitors, Once Caldas, showcased resilience in the second half, leveling the score just past the hour mark and eventually securing the win with a well-taken goal in the closing stages.

A significant factor contributing to Once Caldas' victory was their ability to manage five yellow cards without conceding a red. Their defensive organization under pressure was crucial, particularly after Junior was reduced to 10 men following a second half red card. Atletico's discipline issues disrupted their rhythm and game management, impairing their ability to mount a comeback, even though they had more corner opportunities and dominated offside decisions.

Furthermore, Once Caldas showed remarkable efficiency in front of goal with a clinical conversion rate, as compared to Atletico Junior who struggled to find the net despite their initial lead. This was compounded by Atletico's defensive lapses, allowing Once Caldas to exploit spaces and capitalize on set-pieces opportunities. In the end, the match highlighted the importance of maintaining composure and capitalizing on key moments, elements that Once Caldas mastered to overturn the early deficit and secure victory.
