Deportes Tolima and Junior Face Off in Final Quadrangular Match

IBAGUÉ, Colombia — Deportes Tolima will host Junior de Barranquilla in the final match of the Liga BetPlay quadrangular round on June 19, 2025, at 4:00 PM. Both teams have been eliminated from title contention but are looking to end their season on a high note.

Deportes Tolima recently faced Independiente Medellín, losing 2-1 in a crucial match that dashed their hopes for the final. Despite their defeat, head coach Ismael Rescalvo expressed pride in his team’s performance throughout the tournament. ‘We have been competitive until the end and have not felt inferior to any rival,’ he said in a press conference.

Junior, on the other hand, struggled in the quadrangular stage, losing four of five matches. After a 1-0 loss to América de Cali, coach César Farías took responsibility for the team’s disappointing performance, stating, ‘It is entirely my fault, and I don’t want to point fingers at anyone else.’

This upcoming match will not only be about pride but also about improving classification points for the next season. Both managers are likely to make lineup changes, with Tolima possibly welcoming back player Jeiner Fuentes.

In terms of statistics, Deportes Tolima is known for having one of the best offenses in the quadrangular stage despite their recent struggles, while Junior has faced criticism for low scoring and discipline issues. The game is expected to be competitive as both teams aim to put on a show for their fans.

The match will be broadcast live on WIN, and local radio stations will provide additional coverage. With both teams eager to finish their season positively, fans can expect an intense showdown at the Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro.
