Independiente Santa Fe won his first victory in the Betplay II-2025 League after beating Tolima Sports at the Manuel Murillo Toro de Ibagué stadium.
The team led by Jorge Bava, current Colombian football champion, after the 2-2 draw on the first date against Deportivo Pereira, added three valuable points as a visitor.
The only goal of the commitment was scored by Ewil Murillo in the 52nd minute with a deviant shot that dislodged the goalkeeper Cristopher Fiermarin.
During the first half, Tolima dominated the possession of the ball, but failed to translate that superiority into clear goal options. Santa Fe, on the other hand, opted for high pressure and rapid transitions, highlighting the performance of Murillo, who generated several dangerous approaches. The goalkeeper, Andrés Mosquera Marmolejo, responded well when it was required in the complement.
After the goal of Murillo, the capital team retreated in defense with a line of five men and prioritized the tactical order to resist the offensive attempts of Tolima. Daniel Torres was key in the recovery and management of time, while players like Elvis Perlaza gave everything in physical effort to sustain the result.
Despite the final thrust of the premises, Santa Fe knew how to close the encounter with claw and discipline. In the last play, the VAR checked a possible hand, but ruled out the penalty in favor of Tolima Sports.
With this result, the lion reaches four points in the standings and takes impulse for its next commitment, when it will debut in a local condition in front of golden Águilas in the Campín. Tolima, on the other hand, adds his second consecutive defeat and must adjust his approach if he wants to recompose the way in the championship.
