In the clash between the Volcánicos and the Vinotinto y Oro on date 16 of the Colombian league, the home team, Pasto, clinched a hard-fought victory of 1-0 at the Departamental Libertad Stadium. The decisive moment came in the 32nd minute of the first half when Andrey Estupiñán found the back of the net for the Volcánicos.
Estupiñán executed a breathtaking shot from just outside the penalty area after gaining control of the ball on the left wing, leaving Luis Marquínez Preciado helpless as he attempted to block the goal.
The standout player of the match was, without a doubt, Andrey Estupiñán, who scored the only goal. Additionally, the performance of Iago Herrerín, the goalkeeper for Pasto, was vital in maintaining the clean sheet.
Head coach Jonathan Risueño implemented a 4-3-3 formation, with Iago Herrerín guarding the goal; a backline consisting of Edwin Velasco, Nicolás Gil, Fáiner Torijano, and Juan Mateo Garavito; a midfield led by Johan Caicedo, Enrique Serje, and Yeiler Góez; and a forward line of Mayer Gil, Andrey Estupiñán, and Jonathan Perlaza.
In contrast, Tolima, managed by Lucas González, set up in a 5-2-3 formation, with Luis Marquínez in goal; Shean Barbosa, Yordan Osorio, Juan José Mera, Jherson Mosquera, and Michael Martinez in defense; Cristian Trujillo and Yoimar Moreno in midfield; and Jersson González, Santiago Joven, and Néifer Sánchez in attack.
The match was officiated by referee Javier Villa Zapata.
Following this victory, the Volcánicos will travel to face Jaguares in the next round, while the Vinotinto y Oro will host Pereira at the Manuel Murillo Toro Stadium.
