Union Magdalena bottled against Deportivo Cali to lose 3-4 in their last league game. Ricardo Marquez opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a well placed shot from outside the box into the top right corner. Nicolas Gil Uribe doubled their lead five minutes later, nodding home Cristian Sención's corner. Deportivo Cali pulled one back to make it 2-1 two minutes later (in the 21st minute) when Adrian Parra made a simple tap-in from very close range from a Jhon Vasquez cross. However, Union Magdalena got the chance to go back ahead when Jefferson Diaz conceded a penalty when he handled the ball in the box. Gustavo Torres made no mistake and converted the PK to make it 3-1 in Union Magdalena's favour. In the second half, Deportivo Cali staged a massive comeback. Gustavo Ramirez pulled one back to make it 3-2 in the 55th minute before Fabry Castro equalized the game in the 59th minute. Gustavo Ramirez's brace in the 65th minute completed the comeback after he got on the end of Kevin Salazar's through ball.

Atletico Nacional had a fairly easy win against an Envigado side that could not attack fiercely. The first goal for Atletico Nacional came late in the first half when Samuel Velazquez's solo effort ended up in the bottom right corner in the 41st minute. Samuel Velasquez was the one that provided the assist for the second goal when he made a pass to Eric Ramirez at the left side of the box. Eric Ramirez did well to place his shot well beyond the reach of the goalkeeper in the bottom right corner. Atletico Nacional did not give Envigado any breathing space and grabbed their third goal two minutes later. Eric Ramirez was the goal scorer again however, this time around Dorlan Pabon was the one providing the assist. Atletico Nacional have three wins, one draw and one loss across their last five league games in which they've scored 13 goals and conceded five.

They also come out on top in Head to Head, winning three of the five meetings between both teams.
