Cucuta's 3-0 victory came courtesy of a hat-trick from front man Wilson Carpintero. A win away at Cartagena on the final day of the Colombian football calendar will ensure them of a place in the last 8 and a draw or even a defeat could still suffice depending on other results.
America de Cali's hopes of securing a qualifying berth are all but mathematically over following a 3-1 defeat against Once Caldas of Manizales on Saturday night.
Meanwhile Millonarios again demonstrated their phenomenal ability to shoot themselves in the foot. The Bogota team twice led league leaders Tolima until an 88th minute own goal robbed them of all 3 points and left them with slim hopes of qualification. Millonarios must now beat Medellin away from home next Sunday and hope that Cucuta lose and that Cali fail to beat Equidad.
