Match Recap

Atletico Nacional had to come from behind to beat Independiente Medellin 2-1, and the gap between the two sides in the Primera A table tells its own story. Alejandro Simarra put Medellin ahead in the 29th minute, silencing the home crowd, but Nacional, league leaders on 40 points with three wins from their last five, responded with the quality their table position suggests. Edwin Cardona leveled things early in the second half before Alex Sarmiento turned it around in the 73rd minute, completing the comeback and extending Nacional's dominance in this fixture, they've won two of the last three meetings between these two Medellin rivals without losing. Independiente Medellin, down in 11th and winless in four of their last five, pushed Nacional further than the final table positions suggest they should have been able to. Watch Sarmiento's 73rd-minute winner, the goal that turned a potential upset into another step toward the top for Atletico Nacional.
