América de Cali suffered a 2-1 defeat against Corinthians in a vibrant match played at the Estadio Olímpico Pascual Guerrero in Santiago de Cali. The game, corresponding to the group stage of the 2025 CONMEBOL Sudamericana, was marked by tension and yellow cards. The home side opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a goal from Leonardo Ramos, assisted by Éder Balanta. However, the Cali joy was short-lived. América accumulated four yellow cards before halftime, showing indiscipline that would cost them dearly. In the second half, a goal disallowed for offside to Cristian Barrios frustrated the home side’s hopes. Corinthians, with more possession (60%), equalized the score in the 81st minute thanks to a goal from Matheuzinho. América tried to react but ended up with a total of seven cautions, while Corinthians had three. Despite more shots (17 to 11), América could not overcome their rival’s defensive solidity and ultimately lost. The referee of the match was Jesús Valenzuela from Venezuela.
