Deportes Tolima vs U. de Deportes

Deportes Tolima and Universitario de Deportes played out a goalless draw at the Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro in Ibagué, splitting the points in their Copa Libertadores 2026 Group B opener. The standout moment came from goalkeeper Miguel Vargas, who made a crucial stop to deny Cristian Mosquera's header in the 32nd minute and keep the Peruvian side level. There were no goals, penalties, or red cards, but drama wasn't lacking. Jairo Concha had two attempts in the box around the 18th minute and later fired wide in the 56th, while a defensive lapse from Williams Riveros in the 72nd nearly gifted the visitors a goal — only for Tolima's defenders to scramble it clear off the line. Each club pockets a point as Group B — which also includes Nacional and Coquimbo Unido — gets underway. Tolima will take solace in keeping it tight at home in continental play, while Universitario leave Colombia with a solid foundation to build on.
