In a fiercely contested match that unfolded at the Parque Estadio Olaya Herrera, Real Soacha surged to a much-needed 2-0 victory over Internacional Palmira on October 26, 2025. This triumph came at a pivotal juncture in the Clausura, as both teams sought to solidify their standings in the tightly packed Primera B table. Soacha's goals, scored in the 4th and 85th minutes, marked a significant turnaround from their recent form and propelled them into contention for the playoff spots.
The early stages of the match bore witness to Soacha's determination. Just four minutes in, they broke the deadlock with a quick goal from an unknown source, igniting the hopes of their fans and setting a tone of aggression that would persist throughout the match. The home crowd responded with raucous support, rallying behind the players who were eager to banish memories of their recent 0-2 defeat at Huila.
Meanwhile, Internacional Palmira, ranked 4th with 68 points heading into this clash, appeared to be somewhat off their game. Despite their recent string of good form, which included four clean sheets in five matches, they struggled to mount an effective response after falling behind early. Their attempts to press forward were stifled by a resolute Soacha defense that was determined to assert control over the match.
As the clock ticked down and tension mounted, it was the home side that found the net once more in the 85th minute, again from an unknown player, sealing the 2-0 victory. This late goal not only solidified their lead but also showcased Soacha's ability to capitalize on moments when their opponents were stretched thin in search of a late equalizer.
With this result, Real Soacha climbs to 6th place in the standings, now with 60 points, reigniting their playoff aspirations. Conversely, Internacional Palmira, despite the defeat, remains in a strong 4th position but must reassess the defensive lapses that allowed Soacha to dictate the match. As the season progresses, the stakes grow higher for both teams. Soacha's upcoming matches will be crucial as they push to maintain this momentum, while Palmira must regroup quickly if they hope to secure their spot in the playoffs.
Reflecting on the pre-match preview, it seems I may have underestimated Soacha's resolve and potential for a turnaround. The narrative of a high-octane clash with a twist ending did indeed play out, but it was Soacha who penned the script in their favor. As both teams look ahead in this competitive league, the question remains: can Soacha build on this momentum, or will Palmira respond with the strength expected of a contender? Only time will tell, but the drama of Primera B continues to unfold with each match.
