Alianza Petrolera vs Atlético Nacional

Atlético Nacional ran riot in Valledupar, thumping Alianza 5-1 for one of the Clausura's most emphatic scorelines yet. The headline act was Marlos Moreno, who scored twice as the visitors dominated from the opening minutes. Andrés Sarmiento opened the scoring in the 5th minute, and Alfredo Morelos made it 2-0 in the 18th before Moreno struck in the 23rd. Alianza's only reply came from the penalty spot in the 34th minute, Felipe Pardo converting after VAR upheld a handball call against Néider Parra, beating goalkeeper Franco Armani even though he guessed the right way. Moreno added his second in the 79th minute, and Juan José Rosa capped the rout in stoppage time. The result lifts Atlético Nacional into second place with 12 points from five matches, keeping them firmly in the title race behind América de Cali. Alianza remain rooted in 18th with just two points from six games, still searching for their first win.
