Draw in the Clausura
Quindio and Internacional Palmira shared the points in a 1:1 draw during the third round of the Clausura in Primera B on 8 August 2026. The hosts sat second on 51 points while the visitors occupied third with 50, so this result kept the gap between them intact. To be fair, neither side managed to break the deadlock until the dying stages of the match.
Quindio took the lead through J. Moreno in the 72nd minute, a goal that came after several changes on both benches. The hosts had already brought on M. Castano at half-time, while Internacional Palmira made three substitutions between the 61st and 77th minutes, adding J. Lloreda, J. Cordoba and R. Angulo Satizabal in quick succession. And here's the thing — the visitors responded not with pressure but with patience, waiting for the right moment.
F. Mosquera found that moment in the 90th minute and five seconds of stoppage time, firing home the equaliser to send everyone back to their hotels with a share of the spoils. Quindio had controlled the flow for most of the game, but Internacional Palmira threw bodies in the way when it mattered and never let the lead slip away completely.
The statistics tell a familiar story. Quindio held 64 per cent possession and registered 111 attacks against 97 for the visitors, yet shots on target were 4 to 6 in favour of Internacional Palmira. The hosts threw more shots off target, while the visitors were sharper when they struck. Both sides picked up four yellow cards, and neither manager felt the need to send a player off.
With this draw, Quindio remain two points clear of Internacional Palmira in the table after 28 games each. The hosts have won 14 matches so far with five defeats, while the visitors have suffered six losses from their 14 victories. The Clausura is still wide open, and neither side can afford to look too far ahead.
