In the second half, the script did not change much. Santa Fe had more of the ball, but without depth or variations. Llaneros, solid at the back and patient, waited for his moment to sentence. At 67 minutes, Carlos Barreiro took advantage of a new defensive confusion and scored the third, a blow that ended any local reaction. The attempts by Daniel Torres and Yairo Moreno came to nothing due to the good response of goalkeeper Ortega, who appears in several passages of the game.
The 1-3 final leaves Llaneros with 22 points and a key boost in his aspiration to qualify for home runs, while Santa Fe stagnates at 20 units and could leave the privileged group at the close of the day.

If it doesn't change soon, the finals dream may slip away prematurely.
