Match Report
Nacional put on a commanding second-half display at the Gran Parque Central to beat Deportes Tolima 3-1 in Copa Libertadores Group B. The standout performer was Nicolás López, who contributed a goal and two assists to anchor the Uruguayan side's victory.
The hosts took charge after the break. Maximiliano Gómez opened the scoring in the 48th minute on a López assist, and Sebastián Coates doubled the lead in the 64th with a powerful header. Brayan Rovira gave Deportes Tolima a lifeline with a well-taken free kick in the 80th minute, but López put matters beyond doubt with a clinical left-footed strike in the 87th. No red cards were shown.
The win lifts Nacional to the top of Group B with four points. Deportes Tolima, still without a win after two matches, face a critical home date against Coquimbo Unido on April 28 — a must-win if they hope to stay relevant in the group.
