Medellín and Cali face off in crucial Liga BetPlay match
MEDELLÍN, Colombia — Deportivo Independiente Medellín will host América de Cali on Thursday, September 13, as part of the 20th round of Liga BetPlay. The match is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM COL and will be broadcast on WIN.
Medellín has already secured a spot in the playoff round, but the team aims to finish first to gain an advantage known as the ‘invisible point.’ Currently, they lead the standings with 37 points and a goal difference of +15.
Meanwhile, América de Cali is under pressure to win in order to ensure their place among the top eight teams. A draw would leave them depending on the outcomes of other matches. The Cali club is currently seventh with 29 points and a +7 goal difference.
Francisco Fydriszewski, the Argentine-Polish forward for DIM, stands out as the top scorer in Liga 2025-II with 11 goals. América de Cali relies on Peruvian striker Luis Ramos, who has scored 5 goals this season and netted one in his last match against Unión Magdalena.
The last encounter between these two teams ended in a 1-1 draw, with Tovar scoring for América and Perlaza equalizing for DIM. As the teams prepare for the critical match on November 13, fans are eager to see how this rivalry will unfold.
