Milionarios Women played out a 2:2 draw with La Equidad in the first round of the Women's League Promotion Group on Sunday evening. The result leaves both sides level on points after an opening fixture that swung from control to crisis in the final quarter of the game.
W. Cabrera opened the scoring just one minute in, a burst of early confidence that set the tone for Milionarios. The home side held that advantage until K. Restrepo converted a penalty in the 66th minute to bring La Equidad into the contest. Cabrera restored the two-goal lead in the 85th minute, only for K. Valencia to salvage a point with a late strike of her own.
The match saw a flurry of changes around the hour mark. Milionarios brought on M. Leal twice in quick succession, while La Equidad introduced H. Mosquera and C. Russi in the 73rd minute. Earlier alterations saw J. Guarecuco, R. Olaya and S. Ibarguen enter the fray before half-time, with S. Vera making a fresh legs substitution at the restart.
Discipline was not entirely orderly. K. Valencia picked up a yellow card in the 40th minute, followed by P. Valbuena and Y. Rodriguez before the break. W. Cabrera joined the sin-bin in the 86th minute, a booking that came as the home side scrambled to protect their lead.
Both sides arrived with momentum. Milionarios had won their previous two league fixtures, including a 3:1 victory over Deportivo Cali's women's team, while La Equidad had secured a 2:0 win against Real Santander on their most recent outing.
Without possession or shot data to contextualise the result, the narrative rests on the turning points. A penalty changed the complexion of the game, and a late goal ensured neither side could claim a convincing opening statement. Milionarios now sit on one point from one match, the same as La Equidad, with the group still to unfold.
