The third day of the Betplay II-2025 league ended, a date loaded with surprises, goals, unexpected draws and worrying performances of some large teams. Junior is the solid leader with perfect score, while Medellín, finalist of the previous semester, still does not know the victory.
On Tuesday, Santa Fe and Golden Eagles matched 0-0 in the Campín in a dull match, with little rhythm and many inaccuracies. Later, Atlético Nacional lost the undefeated during his visit to Deportivo Pereira. The Dudamel team won 2-1 with goals from Sammy Merheg and Carlos Darwin Quintero, in a high voltage duel where the green paisa could not hold his good start of the championship.
Wednesday was surprising for Millionaires. In his league debut, after two deferred dates, 1-0 fell to equity. Despite dominating possession and rhythm, Gamero's team did not realize his options and was the victim of the tactical order of the insurers. At night, Junior swept Magdalena in the Costeño classic: he won 4-1 in the Metropolitan with annotations of Rivas, Chará, in love and a self-gauge, ratifying his undefeated pointer status.
This Thursday, Deportivo Cali and Fortaleza tied 1-1 in a locked match and with many interruptions. Hurtado scored for the caleños and Jhon Martínez matched for the visit. In the other day closure, Envigado hit the Girardot Atasio by beating Medellín 4-3. Daniel Arcila was the figure with a triplet in a match full of emotions: three penalties, four expulsions and a DIM that still does not reaction in the tournament.
But not all teams played. The Duels Once Caldas vs. Bucaramanga and Deportivo Pasto vs. America were postponed. The reason? Three of those clubs were playing their lives in the South American Cup. América de Cali advanced to eighths after beating Bay at home 2-0, and Once Caldas did the same with a resounding 4-0 win against San Antonio Bulo in Manizales. Bucaramanga, meanwhile, touched the feat against Atlético Mineiro. He won 1-0 with Bosson Mena's goal and forced the penalties in Brazil, but fell 3-1 from the twelve steps.
