That Thursday, November 14, date 19 of the Betplay League of the second half of 2024 took place, and in it not only the last two classified for home runs and the two relegated were known, but the two teams that won the ‘invisible point’ or ‘sports advantage’.
Independent Santa Fe beat Jaguares 3-0 (Omar Albornoz, Juan Pablo Zuluaga and Jhon Meléndez) in El Campín and secured first place in the Betplay League standings with 37 unitsso he will be the ‘head of group A’ in home runs.

For its part, Cali America defeated Once Caldas 3-0 at the Pascual Guerrero – with a double from Adrián Ramos and a goal from Duván Vergara – and also reached 37 points – but Rojo Bogotano beat them to the position due to goal difference – so they were placed in the second box of the table and will be ‘head of group B’.
In that order of ideas, Santa Fe and America will not meet in home runs and they arrive with two ‘advantages’ at this stage. Both the Red and the Scarlet will start the home runs as visitors and will close as locals.
Likewise, and more importantly, Santa Fe and América will have the possibility of entering the final if they tie on points with any other team of their group, regardless of the goal difference, which is an item that is no longer taken into account in this instance.
