Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What time does the game start in my time zone?

The match kicks off at 6:25 p.m. Colombia time (COT). That’s:

• 7:25 p.m. EDT (East Coast USA)
• 4:25 p.m. PDT (West Coast USA)
• 11:25 p.m. BST (UK)

2. Where can I watch the game?

The match will be broadcast live on Win+ Fútbol in Colombia. Check your local sports listings for international broadcast partners.

3. Why might Tolima rest their best players?

Tolima plays Independiente Del Valle (Ecuador) on Tuesday in the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 — the most important club competition in South America. Coach Oliveros might save his starters for that game.

4. What’s the deal with Yhormar Hurtado?

Hurtado plays for América de Cali. Internacional claims he was registered for three different teams in one year, which breaks league rules. Dimayor suspended him for 7 days while investigating. If Internacional wins the case, they could get the points from that 0-2 loss.

5. Who is the favorite to win?

Tolima at home would normally be favorites, but with their Libertadores game Tuesday, they might field a weakened team. Internacional comes in with momentum and a full squad. This makes the game very unpredictable — a true 50/50 match!

Enjoy the game!
