Deportivo Cali returns to action tonight in the 13th matchday of the second half of the 2026 Colombian League, hosting Alianza FC at Palmaseca.
The match is highly relevant for the Azucarero side, which is chasing its fifth consecutive victory to stay near the top of the table and close in on qualification for the semifinal quadrangulars.
Alianza arrives without a good tournament run and hopes for a positive result to climb into the middle of the table and move away from relegation trouble.
The game between the Vallecaucanos and the Cesarenses was scheduled for 7:45 p.m. at the Estadio del Deportivo Cali in Palmira and was to be broadcast on Win Sports + and its digital platform.
Fans could also follow the incidents for free through the social media and website of El País (www.elpais.com.co).
A victory would let the Verdiblanco momentarily overtake América de Cali and become league leader, but it would need a good goal difference to surpass them.
The championship currently has 15 pending matches from earlier dates, so some teams have one or even two games still to play.
The 13th matchday of the 2026-2 Colombian League begins this Friday, October 2, with the duel between Deportivo Cali and Alianza Valledupar at the Estadio de Palmaseca.
The Vallecaucano side arrives in the middle of a sensational run: four consecutive victories that keep it in the upper part of the standings.
If it adds a fifth triumph, it will at least partially equal the points total of leader América.
Alianza, meanwhile, is in the lower part of the classification, although a win on Vallecaucano soil would allow it to get back into the fight to qualify for the top eight.
Of course, that is not its only battle, because the three points would let it keep gaining ground in the relegation table.
Although the stipulated start time was 7:45 p.m., DIMAYOR decided to delay the start of the Cali-Alianza match by 45 minutes because of heavy rains in the capital of Valle del Cauca.
The ball will roll from 8:30 p.m.
