While for America de Cali, although they registered 4 shots on target and 7 off target, totaling 11 attempts, they could only convert one.

In conclusion, despite the evenly contested match, Independiente Medellin managed to outperform America de Cali based on their superior shooting statistics, defensive strength, disciplinary record, and efficient execution of set-pieces. These factors collectively helped them secure the win. As the competition progresses, America de Cali must prioritize their shooting efficiency and discipline to avoid such narrow defeats.
