The first half was all for the ‘sugar’ team, they imposed the circulation of the ball, generated dangerous plays and crashed a ball into the post. Jhon Vásquez even had a goal disallowed when he fell in a forward position following a free kick taken from the right side by Andrés Arroyo.
Initially, the linesman had validated it, but the assistance of the VAR was necessary to corroborate the clear advanced position of Vásquez, who started the match playing as a forward.
Cali’s attacks bore fruit following a new free kick from the side. After a header from Kevin Salazar, the ball crashed into the upright and fell to Bolivian central defender Luis Haquín, who drove and found the perfect moment to assist Juan José Córdoba.
The green and white winger controlled the ball from his chest inside the area and finished with a left-footed cross, unreachable by goalkeeper Jhon Alexander Figueroa, from Atlético Huila.
In the second half, the ‘opita’ team went determinedly on the attack, but did not find many variants in its players and might only have two dangerous plays.

The second was a play of confusion in the area. Huila had already made a couple of passes inside the rectangle without being able to shoot, so Marcus Vinicius tried, but his shot was blocked. Then the ball fell to Maicol Sequeda, who scored with his left foot and crossed the Cali goalkeeper’s far post, but his attempts were rejected by the post.
Without much more emotion, the green and white team managed to maintain the result and obtained three golden points in their intentions to move away from the relegation tables of 2023 and 2024, as well as maintaining the hope of entering the group of eight and playing in the finals. following two years without doing so, which ends this season.
This is how the relegation table looked
With the victory, Deportivo Cali reached 131 in 108 games played over the last three years (2021, 2022 and 2023). This means he has an average of 1.21 and is in box 14, slightly away from the risk positions. It should be remembered that in this table the averages are used because not all teams have the same number of games played, so in their cases the same equation is made, dividing their number of points by the number of games.
