Liga BetPlay Reaches Climactic Conclusion: Descenso and Cuadrangulares Decided in Final Matches

The Liga BetPlay in Colombia is nearing its dramatic conclusion, with the final matches of the regular season determining both the teams that will be relegated and those that will advance to the cuadrangulares finals. The last round of matches, played on November 14, saw intense competition as several teams fought to avoid relegation and others battled for a spot in the cuadrangulares[4][6].

Patriotas de Boyacá, Jaguares de Córdoba, and Envigado FC were the primary teams at risk of relegation. Despite initial reports suggesting Patriotas had been officially relegated, a legal loophole in Dimayor‘s rules kept their hopes alive until the final matches. Envigado FC, however, secured their stay in the top division with a crucial 1-0 win over Deportivo Cali, while Jaguares de Córdoba’s fate was sealed as they failed to gain the necessary points to surpass Envigado[2][4].

In the upper echelons of the table, six teams have already secured their spots in the cuadrangulares finals: Independiente Santa Fe, América de Cali, Millonarios, Atlético Nacional, Deportes Tolima, and Once Caldas. The remaining two spots were contested by Junior de Barranquilla, Deportivo Pasto, Fortaleza CEIF, Independiente Medellín, Atlético Bucaramanga, and Deportivo Pereira. The final standings will determine which teams will have the ‘punto invisible’ or ‘ventaja deportiva’ in the cuadrangulares, giving them an advantage in case of a tie[5][6].[7]

The cuadrangulares finals are set to begin between November 20 and 21, following a sorteo that will be broadcast on Win Sports and Dimayor’s YouTube channel. The format will consist of two groups of four teams each, with the top two teams from the regular season serving as group leaders and holding the ‘punto invisible'[5][6].[7]

The final matches were played simultaneously across various stadiums in Colombia, adding to the excitement and suspense of the league’s conclusion. The broadcast of these matches was available on Win Sports and Win Sports +, ensuring fans did not miss any of the action[3][6].[7]
