Barranquilla and Depor played out a 2:2 draw in the Clausura second round of Primera B on 2 August 2026. The hosts took an early lead before Depor levelled, only for Barranquilla to retake advantage before the break. And here's the thing — the match was decided in the dying moments rather than any sustained pressure.
F. Palomino opened the scoring at the sixth minute, just a minute after J. Delgado had given Depor the lead. C. Restrepo restored Barranquilla's advantage at 32, and the home side looked comfortable enough with 58 per cent possession and 13 shots on target. The visitors managed only 69 attacks compared to 119, though they kept things tight.
Bronze cards came thick and fast after the hour mark. Yellow cards at 62 and 68 showed the game tightening, and by then you could sense the tension building. The fifth booking at 90+4 seemed to signal what was coming next — Barranquilla had held on for 90 minutes and Depor were not going to accept that.
The equaliser arrived at 90+5, a moment that mattered more than any statistic in the report. Depor had 42 per cent possession and just 6 shots on target all afternoon, but they waited for their chance. To be fair, that is how cup football often plays out — patience over volume.
Barranquilla remain seventh with 34 points from 28 games, while Depor sit 13th on 20 from 22 matches. The hosts had drawn 2:2 with Junior earlier in the week and lost 1:0 to Orsomarso before that, so this result extends a streak of mixed outcomes rather than breaking one. Depor's recent form has been harder to read — heavy defeats against Milonarios and Chico punctuated by a 1:1 draw with Patriotas Boyacá.
