Deportivo Pereira 2–0 Chico

Deportivo Pereira finally found the net, and it was enough to end a rough patch. J. Largacha broke the deadlock in the 40th minute, and with Chico pressing for an equalizer late on, M. Diaz sealed it in the 86th to make it 2-0 in this Primera A clash. The win matters more than the scoreline suggests: Pereira came in without a single victory in five games, rooted at 20th with just 10 points, while Chico sat only two places and seven points better off despite their own LLDWL slump. History favored the visitors too, Chico having won the only previous meeting between these sides, so Pereira's clean sheet and two-goal response flip that narrative on its head. Neither side has a name among Primera A's top scorers this season, with A. Estupiñán's 19 goals still untouched atop the charts, which makes Largacha and Diaz's combination feel like a statement rather than a fluke. Pereira needed a result like this. Watch how Diaz's 86th-minute strike put the game to bed just as Chico pushed hardest for an equalizer.
