Santa Fe and Once Caldas shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw during the second stage of the Clausura tournament in Colombia's Primera A. The visitors took control after falling behind, with an own goal equalising before Andres Colorado struck the winner.
Just four minutes in, Jader Obrian gave Santa Fe the lead, only to collect a yellow card later in the half. Once Caldas made two changes at the break, bringing on Edwin Torres and Nael Bustos. The home side kept their advantage until the 54th minute when Jose Zapata Ramirez pulled One Caldas level.
And here's the thing about this match — it was the own goal that truly shifted momentum. Andres Correa deflected the ball past his own keeper in the 63rd minute, putting Once Caldas ahead for the first time. Santa Fe responded with Omar Fernandez off the bench, but the visitors never looked back.
Colorado made it 2-1 in the 79th minute, though he would see yellow shortly after. The home side threw bodies forward, bringing on Toscano Bassa and Daniel Torres in the final ten minutes. Jader Obrian's early goal kept them in the contest, but they could not find an equaliser.
The statistics tell a story of dominance without reward. Once Caldas enjoyed 61 per cent possession, registered 17 key passes and created more chances, yet Santa Fe's goalkeeper made seven saves to keep them in the game. The hosts managed only two shots on target from eight attempts.
By then, the result meant little in terms of table movement. Santa Fe remain seventh with 29 points from 19 games, while Once Caldas sit fifth on 33 points. Both sides showed resilience, but the visitors' ability to respond after going behind was the defining feature.
