Match Info

Deportivo Once Caldas began their Copa Sudamericana campaign with a solid 1-0 home victory over Unión Española on May 8, 2025. The Colombian side controlled much of the match at the Estadio Palogrande and scored the decisive goal midway through the second half with a precise low shot from the edge of the area. Unión Española offered sporadic threat on the counter-attack but found the Once Caldas defense, marshaled by an experienced center-back, difficult to penetrate. The Chilean visitors' best chance came from a free-kick that rattled the crossbar, but Once Caldas held firm to see out the win. The three points gave Once Caldas an ideal start in a competitive group, putting them in an early driving seat for qualification. The Once Caldas manager was pleased with his team's control and defensive solidity, while the Unión Española coach felt his team lacked a cutting edge in the final third. The starting XIs featured Once Caldas' typical Colombian league lineup and Unión Española's technical Chilean players.
