The league’s standings were very tight, at the end of the all-against-all phase. So far, the leader is insured Santa Fe, Tolima, Cali, Pasto (who qualified yesterday) and Nacional, who are above the 32-point barrier. America, who wins the points on the desk against Cúcuta, in a game that was not played this Thursday, is also assured.
Junior and Equity remain in the fight, who for now close the group of eight but have nothing insured and need to win on the last date so as not to take risks of being left out.

From behind they are threatened by Águilas Rionegro, who on this day defeated Chicó 1-2 away and has 28 points. And Millonarios, who revived in the last days and reached 27. He needs to beat Alianza at home to do 30 and wait for other results, such as Águilas not winning, and that one of the threatened (Junior or Equidad) falls to enter to fight with the goal difference.
‘Magic number’, at 31
However, today the tentative qualifying number is at 31 points, that would not reach teams like Millonarios and Once Caldas.
The historical average of qualification in the short tournaments of 20 dates is 30.8. That is, 31, as it is now.
At the close of the date, Once Caldas lost a key game in his visit against Pasto (2-1) and was left with very few chances of qualifying, since he has 26 points and can only reach 29 if he wins on date 20 at Tolima. His light of hope is to win and hope that neither Millionaires nor Eagles will, and that Equidad, who is currently eighth with 29, loses against America.
Thus, the date 20 will be a heart attack. That is why Dimayor defined that there will be a unified schedule for the teams that are in the fight.
The desk acted: with the defeat of Cúcuta vs. America for their troubles and the confirmation that Pereira wins the game points with Once Caldas, this is the standings: pic.twitter.com/2BpmK7AMTO
