Real Soacha secured a crucial 0:1 victory over Internacional Palmyra in the Clausura eighth round of Primera B on September 3, 2026. The away side took all three points despite facing sustained pressure from the home side throughout the contest. It was a result that shifted momentum for both clubs in the standings.
The match opened with a flurry of cautions, as Internacional Palmyra's players picked up yellow cards in the 14th and 16th minutes. K. Vidal then struck for the hosts in the 23rd minute, but the goal was later ruled out. Real Soacha responded through K. Cuellar, who found the net in the 51st minute to secure the breakthrough. The away side sat deep and soaked up the pressure before capitalising on their limited opportunities.
Internacional Palmyra dominated possession at 59 per cent and registered 127 attacks compared to Real Soacha's 100. Yet the visitors were far more efficient in front of goal, converting their chances with precision. The hosts registered 12 shots with six on target, while Real Soacha managed just three shots on target from 11 attempts. Many shots with one goal meant chances went begging for the home side.
The match saw a wave of substitutions around the 57th minute, with Internacional Palmyra bringing on K. Vidal, C. Rios, and J. Amaya simultaneously in a bid to change the shape at half-time. Further changes followed for both sides, including K. Cuellar's replacement in the 63rd minute. The yellow cards continued to mount, with C. Zambrano and C. Uribe receiving cautions for the away side.
Internacional Palmyra remain second in the table with 50 points from 26 games, having won 14 and drawn eight. Real Soacha sit 12th with 21 points from 21 matches, showing signs of recovery after a difficult spell. The result ended Internacional Palmyra's recent unbeaten run, following their draw with Kindingo and goalless stalemate against Bogota.
Real Soacha's performance suggested they sensed blood when the home side grew impatient. The away side's defensive organisation held firm against the pressure, and their clinical approach in attack proved decisive. The victory keeps them within touching distance of the mid-table pack, though they still have work to do to close the gap.
