Independiente Medellin 0–2 Once Caldas

Once Caldas did the job on the road, and Jefry Zapata started it in the 35th minute before Michael Barrios put it beyond doubt in the 65th. Independiente Medellin never found an answer at home, falling 2-0 in a result that stretches their recent form to just two wins in five. For Once Caldas, this one fits a pattern: in Primera A play, they've climbed to fifth with 33 points and two wins in their last five, while Medellin sit 11th on 26. History offered a hint of what was coming, too, Medellin drew the only previous meeting between these sides, and this time Once Caldas made sure there'd be no repeat. Barrios' strike, in particular, sealed a performance that looked comfortable by the second half, with Medellin's attack unable to generate a reply. Neither Zapata nor Barrios cracks the league's top ten scorers this season, a list still topped by A. Estupiñán on 19, but on this night they were the difference. Watch both goals, Zapata's opener and Barrios' second-half clincher, to see exactly how Once Caldas shut this one down.
