Santa Fe equaled Fortaleza in points and goals for first place in the 2024-I League, on a day in which América overcame Atlético Nacional and Millonarios got a point in Bucaramanga.
América beat Nacional 4-1 in the debut of Venezuelan coach César Farías on the local bench. The result leaves Nacional coach Jhon Bodmer in a very bad position. “I am ashamed of the fans, I feel sorry, as the head of the group. “We all have to show our faces,” said the coach.
Earlier, in Tunja, Boyacá Chicó and Junior tied 2-2 in a controversial match, which was resolved with a goal by Steven Rodríguez in the 90+6 minute, disputed due to a possible offside.
On Saturday, Medellín beat Pereira 1-0. The youth Jaime Peralta, reinforcement who arrived from Cúcuta Deportivo, scored the only goal of the match. Earlier, Santa Fe beat Envigado 3-1 in Bogotá.
In another game on Saturday, Jaguares and Equidad tied 0-0. The Montería team is still in the relegation zone.
The second date of the 2024-I League began this Thursday with victories for Fortaleza and Águilas Doradas, who now have a perfect campaign. The Bogotá team, for now, is the leader of the championship.
The two defeated this Thursday, Patriotas and Once Caldas, remain in a very committed position with relegation, although it should be remembered that this matter will be resolved in the second half of the year.
This Friday, Tolima beat Pasto 1-4 as a visitor, in a match that had a controversial action, a goal disallowed for the home team due to offside after a VAR review that lasted more than 10 minutes.

On Thursday, in Techo, Fortaleza achieved a key victory in its fight for permanence, defeating the other newly promoted team, Patriotas de Boyacá, 2-0. It should be remembered that these two clubs only play with what they have achieved this year, while the rest of the participants in the League, except Boyacá Chicó, add what they have achieved for three years.
Daniel Rivera, in the 13th minute, and Adrián Parra, in the 90th minute, scored the goals for the team led by Sebastián Oliveros. Patriotas ended up with nine players, due to the expulsions of Santiago Roa and Gianfranco Peña.
