This intense match between Once Caldas and Independiente Santa Fe, part of the Primera A competition, was loaded with action and contested strongly by both sides, though ultimately it was Once Caldas who came out on top with a 3-1 victory.

The home team scored the opening goal just after six minutes into the match, establishing a strong foothold in the game early on. However, Independiente Santa Fe managed to equalize at around the twenty-seven-minute mark, turning the match into an open contest. Intriguingly, three of the four goals in this match were scored after the halftime break, two of them by Once Caldas.

The second half, in particular, saw a flurry of decisive actions. Once Caldas reclaimed their lead with a crucial goal at the fifty-second-minute mark. Their second yellow card of the match was also noted immediately before this goal. Independiente Santa Fe picked up their first yellow card within a minute of Once Caldas's second, in a display of stout defensive performance from both teams.

Despite having fewer corner kicks (five as opposed to Independiente's six), Once Caldas was more effective with their opportunities, turning them into tangible results. Their vigilance on the defense cannot be overstated, as they limited Independiente Santa Fe to zero offsides, whereas Once Caldas committed only one offside throughout the match.

The match saw a fair share of disciplinary actions. Once Caldas were handed three yellow cards, one in the opening half and two in the second half, while Independiente Santa Fe collected two yellows, both in the second half. Astonishingly, both teams managed to avoid any red cards despite the intensity of the game.

In conclusion, Once Caldas were the more telling side in front of goal, converting their chances efficiently, while also maintaining robust defensive performance thereby curbing Santa Fe's forwards, which clearly influenced the match's outcome. Despite their disciplinary issues (which saw them pick up one yellow card more than Independiente), their efforts yielded a positive result - a 3:1 victory.
