How the Match Unfolded
The early stages were a tight midfield battle, with both teams cautious in possession. Llaneros broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute when striker Jhon Vásquez latched onto a through ball from Kevin Londoño and slotted past Patriotas goalkeeper Carlos Bejarano.
Patriotas equalised just before half‑time against the run of play. A free kick into the box was not cleared, and Andrés Murillo poked home the rebound from close range.
Second‑Half Dominance
Llaneros came out with renewed energy after the break. In the 55th minute, winger Juan Pablo Ramírez restored the lead with a curling shot from outside the box that left Bejarano with no chance. The hosts then sealed the win in the 72nd minute when substitute Cristian Barrios capitalised on a defensive error to make it 3‑1.
Patriotas rarely threatened thereafter, and Llaneros goalkeeper Andrés Mosquera had a relatively quiet second half.
