Colombia on fire! Tolima and Nacional face off in the semi-final | OneFootball

Deportes Tolima and Atlético Nacional will face each other in the first leg of the Liga BetPlay semifinals. Manuel Murillo Toro Stadium will be the stage where this exciting series gets underway, promising ninety minutes of high intensity between two of Colombia’s most competitive teams. 

The 'Pijao' side comes into this stage riding a wave of momentum after knocking out Deportivo Pasto with a commanding aggregate score. Lucas González’s men have shown remarkable defensive solidity and balanced football that makes them a tough side, so they will look to strike first against the regular-season leaders. 

Meanwhile, the Verdolaga squad arrives in high spirits after a historic and emphatic 7-1 thrashing of Internacional de Bogotá, and comes with the firm intention of securing a positive result that will allow them to decide the series more comfortably at the Atanasio Girardot.

Recent history points to a tightly contested clash, recalling their last meeting this year in Ibagué, where Tolima edged out a narrow win.
