Pereira rescued a point by tying Millonarios in the 92nd minute, leaving the blue team with no options, with 5 points. The Matecaña team, with 8, tops group B.
Junior later defeated Bucaramanga 1-0, with a goal from Carlos Bacca, and with that victory he reached 8 points.
The bills
Deportivo Pereira needs to win by the same score as Junior or by, at least, one more goal. He also qualifies with a win against Bucaramanga if Junior does not triumph in Bogotá. Advances with the tie if Junior draws or loses with Millonarios.
Junior, beating Millonarios by at least one more goal than Pereira beat Bucaramanga, qualifies for the final. Or winning and Pereira not doing it. It also happens with a tie if Pereira loses.
Atlético Bucaramanga, for its part, has to win and Junior loses. They would tie on points and it would be a sporting advantage.
