Atletico Nacional Medellin returned to winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 home victory over Alianza Fútbol Club on February 22, 2026. After a surprise defeat in their previous outing, Nacional responded in emphatic fashion at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot, dominating from start to finish. The home side controlled possession and tempo, scoring once in the first half and adding two more after the break to put the result beyond doubt. Alianza struggled to cope with Nacional's intensity and attacking movement, rarely troubling the home goalkeeper. The win reasserted Nacional's title credentials and got their campaign back on track, while Alianza was given a lesson by one of the league's powerhouses. The Nacional manager was pleased with the reaction, and the Alianza coach acknowledged the gulf in class on the day.
