Santa Fe continue to dominate

Liga Postobon - Round 10

Arsenal weren't the only team bemoaning a last-minute injury time goal this weekend as the Colombian football league provided plenty of last gasp equalisers.

Independiente Medellin looked to have sealed all 3 points in the weekend's first game on Saturday afternoon, but were denied in injury time by local minnows Envigado, who claimed a vital point in their fight against relegation.

Atletico Nacional looked to move forward from Wednesday embarrassing 4-0 defeat in the Copa Postobon to part-timers Itagui. And it seemed like a formality as they entered the last 10 minutes with a 2 goal cushion. But it was not to be as their rivals Atletico Huila struck on 81 minutes and then 3 minutes into injury time to put the brakes of Nacional's surge up the league table.

Sunday's big game was a repeat of last sunday's derby match between the two Bogota giants of Millonarios and Santa Fe. Santa Fe had beaten Caracas during the week in the Copa Suramerica (South America's version of the Europa League) and continued their excellent form with a convincing 2-0 win over their local enemy.
Santa Fe stretch their lead at the top of the table to 5 points, whereas Millonarios remain in 16th spot with an end-of-season play off place seeming increasingly unlikely.
