Honours even between Independiente Medellin and Aguilas Doradas
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Still no ink between Independiente Medellin and Frank Fabra
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Independiente Medellin, another week without a signature from Frank Fabra.

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Sebastian Lemos chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.
In brief
