Fortaleza FC 1–1 Deportivo Cali

Deportivo Cali struck first through N. Benedetti in the 14th minute, but Fortaleza FC refused to fold, with F. Pulicastro leveling things right on the stroke of halftime in the 45+1. That 1-1 draw in the Primera A keeps both sides stuck in familiar grooves: Fortaleza sit 15th with 22 points and zero wins across their last five, their form reading DLDDD, while Cali, ninth on 27 points with two wins in that same span, continue to look the sturdier of the two without ever quite pulling clear. It is the only recent meeting between these two, and it ended exactly as this one did, a draw, so the pattern holds. Neither Yeison Guzmán, the league's top scorer with 19 goals, nor any of the division's other leading names found the net here, leaving the goalscoring to two players grabbing their moment on the biggest stage available to them. Pulicastro's stoppage-time leveler is the kind of goal that decides whether a result feels like a point won or two lost, and it is worth watching back just to see how Fortaleza manufactured it in the final seconds of the half.
