Colombia Wrap: Santa Fe stay top, Medellin lose

League leaders Santa Fe and second-placed Once Caldas played out a goalless draw at Estadio Nemesio Camacho on Saturday.

The stalemate, however, was enough for Santa Fe to maintain their lead atop the table after Medellin lost 3-2 at home to Deportes Tolima earlier on Saturday.

Santa Fe are one point clear of Once Caldas through 15 games, while Medellin are a further point back.

Medellin - beaten 2-1 by Alianza Petrolera in their previous home match - found themselves two goals down two minutes into the second half.

Charles Monsalvo opened the scoring for Deportes Tolima on the half-hour mark and Breyner Bonilla doubled the visitors' lead in the 47th-minute.

Medellin pulled a goal back four minutes later via Jefferson Mena, but Yimmi Chara restored Deportes Tolima's two-goal cushion two minutes later.
