Match Report

Deportes Tolima overturned a first-leg deficit to beat O'Higgins 2-0 in Ibagué, securing a 2-1 aggregate victory and a place in the Copa Libertadores group stage. Júnior Hernández set the tone with a thunderous left-footed strike in the 38th minute to level the tie. The hosts thought they had an early breakthrough when a penalty was awarded in the 15th minute, but VAR intervened and overturned the call for simulation. O'Higgins came close through Arnaldo Castillo, who rattled the post on 52 minutes, while goalkeeper Omar Carabalí produced several fine saves to keep the Chileans in the contest. Just when it seemed destined for extra time, Juan Pablo Torres killed the tie in the 87th minute, finishing off a rapid counterattack sparked by Jáder Valencia to send the home crowd into raptures. Tolima march on to the Libertadores group stage, while O'Higgins drop into the Copa Sudamericana despite a spirited defensive display.
