Carlos Betancur’s sixth final in the League
Betancur will direct the sixth League final of his career and it will be the third time he whistles the second leg. He had already done it in Medellín vs. Junior (2018-II), Pasto vs. Junior (2019-I) and Millionaires vs. National (2023-I).
He was also the central judge in two first matches: Tolima vs. Millionaires (2021-I) and Medellín vs. Pereira (2022-II). To that we must add four Cup finals, among them, the controversial Nacional vs. Millionaires of last year.
