Deportes Quindio through in the cup
A 1‑0 win over Deportivo Pasto, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Deportes Quindio taken apart
0‑5 to Cortulua, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

The manager makes an example of Santiago Roa
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
