Boyacá Chicó vs Atlético Nacional

Atl. Nacional won 4-1 at Chico in Tunja, with a rotated side and two late goals from a substitute settling a match that had been fairly quiet for long spells. Emanuel Benítez opened the scoring around the quarter-hour mark, his first goal as a professional. Edwin Cardona made it 2-0 on 50 minutes, finishing at the far post after a run from Nicolás Rodríguez and a pass from Juan Manuel Zapata. Coach Lucas González had rested James Rodríguez and leaned on young players, and they responded. Chico hardly troubled Franco Armani until Milton Casco fouled a home player in the area. VAR confirmed the penalty and Juan Díaz scored it around the 79th minute. Andrés Sarmiento, back from injury and on since the 65th minute, then scored in the 85th and again in the 91st. Nacional played this three days after beating Independiente Medellín in the Copa BetPlay to reach the semi-finals. Chico, who are fighting relegation, are left chasing points.
