THE UGLY
– Bismarck Santiago: The referee from Atlántico was disastrous in the match between Atlético Nacional and Águilas Doradas, where the referee denied two clear penalty actions for the local team, which later resulted in him being reprimanded.
– Red here and there: The dirty play that took place between Bucaramanga and Santa Fe, where the referee of the match, Carlos Betancur, ended up expelling three players in the game.
