How it happened
Independiente Santa Fe won 1-0 at Independiente Medellín on Matchday 13 of the Categoría Primera A league phase, and goalkeeper Andrés Mosquera was the reason they were still level when the decisive moment came. He made six saves and earned a match rating of 8.7, the highest on the pitch.
The fixture kicked off at 00:00 UTC on 6 October at the Estadio Metropolitano Ciudad de Itagüí, under clear skies at 16C, with Fernando Bautista refereeing. It was goalless at half-time.
The only goal arrived in the 87th minute, scored by Santa Fe defender Victor Moreno. There were no red cards.
The numbers
Medellín had the territory: 60% possession, 20 shots to 14 and seven corners to five. They put six shots on target, all of them stopped by Mosquera, who finished with 41 touches.
The expected-goals figures tell a different story from the shot count. Santa Fe produced 2.47 xG to Medellín's 0.74, a gap of 1.73, which suggests the visitors created the clearer openings while the hosts relied on volume. Santa Fe had five shots on target.
Jader Obrian supported the attack with four key passes, 45 touches and 0.53 xG, for a match rating of 8.0. Moreno's winner came from an expected-goals value of 0.07, and he finished with a match rating of 7.9.
