With the defeat, Independiente Medellín was left with 24 points in fifth place, however, it must be clarified that DIM along with Santa Fe are the only ones that have a game pending to play on the calendar. Both have 13 games played.

Águilas Doradas surprised Medellín very early and when they were just 18 minutes in they were already winning by two goals difference. The first came with a powerful shot by Mateo Puerta after a defensive error in the DIM and then it was a header that Diego Hernández sent into the back of the net after a cross into the area by Johan Caballero.

Before the first half ended, Medellín went all out on Águilas and got the discount with a header from Jhon Palacios and in the agony of the first half came the controversy of the game due to an alleged foul inside the area on Brayan León, the judge even went and reviewed the action in the VAR, but maintained his decision not to give the maximum penalty.

In the second half the game did not have as many emotions, but Medellín perhaps came closer to the tie, Brayan León, Baldomero Perlaza, Jarlan Barrera, Léider Berrío and Francisco Fydriszewski tried, but finally they could not score.
