Independiente Medellín beat Unión Magdalena 2-0 at the Sierra Nevada stadium for the fourth date of the Betplay 2025-II League. The team led by Alejandro Restrepo cut a negative three -game streak without winning and added its first three points in the championship. The place, on the other hand, still does not raise the head and continues compromised in the descent table.
The game began with a high pace and quickly leaned in favor of the DIM. At 8 minutes, Luis 'El Chino' Sandoval took advantage of a play built from the right and defined precisely to open the score. It was a bucket of cold water for union, which never managed to settle and suffered constantly in defense.
Although the Samario team tried to respond with medium distance auctions and centers to the area, goalkeeper Washington Aguerre was safe under the three sticks. Even when Juan Tello and Jannenson Sarmiento approached with danger, Medellín resisted with order. Unión had its clearest opportunity at 60 'with a cup of Tello that crashed in the crossbar.
In the second half, Medellín knew how to handle the result. Despite suffering some casualties due to injury and watching a goal canceled after review of the VAR, he never lost control of the game. Ménder García, admitted from the bank, was key to sustaining the attack and generating options. Finally, at 87 minutes, Baldomero Pelaza sentenced the 2-0 with a right-handed right from outside the area.
The closure of the meeting was marked by the frustration of the premises, which found no clarity or depth to disturb. The changes made by the Union coach did not take effect, and the fans in Santa Marta began to express their discontent before a team that fails to react, neither in points or in play.
With this result, Medellín breathes and scale positions in the table, leaving behind the bad start. Unión Magdalena, on the other hand, continues in the background and with the ghost of the descent closer and closer. On the next day, the Antioqueños will seek to confirm their recovery, while the 'Cyclone' will have to rebuild urgently if they want to avoid a new stumbling block in their struggle for permanence.
