Deportivo Pasto secured a 2-0 victory against Jaguares FC at the Estadio Departamental Libertad, a result that leaves the visiting side no longer depending on its own results to avoid relegation in the Liga BetPlay, Win Sports reported.
Enrique Serje opened the scoring in the 70th minute after Matías Pisano sent a cross that deflected off a defender, according to AS Colombia coverage. John Méndez sealed the result in the 94th minute by finishing off a collective attacking sequence.
The defeat leaves Jaguares in the 19th position in the league table with 13 points after 17 matches, as detailed by Noticias Caracol. The Montería-based club now requires Cúcuta Deportivo to drop points against Santa Fe to keep any mathematical hope alive, while any single point for Cúcuta confirms Jaguares’ direct relegation.
Deportivo Pasto climbed out of the bottom of the standings with the three points, moving up to the 18th position with 15 points. The match carried high stakes despite both clubs missing out on the final phase, as the relegation battle intensified during the antepenultimate round of the all-play-all phase.
Both teams traded offensive efforts during a scoreless opening half where Deportivo Pasto’s Joider Micolta and Jaguares’ Cristian Álvarez repeatedly tested the respective goalkeepers, Giovanni Banguera and Diego Martínez.
Alerta reported that the fixture wrapped up the 17th round of the Liga BetPlay 2026-II tournament, leaving all participating clubs level on 17 played matches ahead of the final two rounds.
