O'Higgins of Chile bounced back from their opening defeat to claim a 1-0 home win over Colombia's Deportes Tolima in the CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores on March 5, 2026. The decisive moment came late in a tense match, with O'Higgins scoring from a well-rehearsed set-piece in the 85th minute to send the home fans into raptures. Deportes Tolima, still seeking their first points of the campaign, had the better of the chances for much of the game but were once again let down by poor finishing. The victory was a massive relief for O'Higgins, earning their first three points of the group stage and reviving their qualification hopes, while it piled more pressure on a Tolima side that now had two consecutive losses.
