The Colombian champion beat Deportivo Pasto 2-0, with goals from Carlos Bacca, in the 45th minute + 2, from a penalty, and Yimmi Chará, in the 68th minute. Thus, those led by Arturo Reyes reached 13 points in the table.
Earlier, Deportivo Pereira defeated Fortaleza 2-0, which is beginning to lose positions in the relegation table: Fáber Gil, in the 45th minute+5, and Gonzalo Lencina, in the 82nd minute, scored the goals for those led by Leonel Álvarez.
Patriotas and Atlético Nacional tied without goals in a poor match at the La Independencia stadium, which left the local team sunk in the relegation zone and the visitor, once again, with many doubts regarding their performance.
