The reigning champions beat Tolima thanks to goals from Diego Peralta and Fernando Uribe, while the losers finished the match with 10 players after Felipe Noguera was shown a red card just after the hour-mark.
Boyaca Chico defeated Envigado 2-0 thanks to a first-half brace from Armando Carrillo.
Once Caldas and Junior both moved up to 11 points after they recorded wins on Sunday.
Junior edged out Patriotas Boyaca 1-0 and Once Caldas held off Alianza Petrolera to win 2-1.
