Real Cartagena beat Real Cundinamarca 1–0 on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Jaime Morón León stadium. Mauro Manotas scored the only goal in the match, which was part of the third round of the Torneo BetPlay II semifinal groups.
Álvaro Hernández’s team secured the win after losing 3–2 to Deportes Quindío in the previous round, also in Cartagena. That result had left the home side needing to recover on its own ground to keep its hopes of reaching the final alive.
Manotas settled the match
Manotas scored in the second half. Real Cundinamarca played that part of the match with one fewer player following a sending-off before halftime.
During the game, Fredy Montero had an opportunity that visiting goalkeeper Mateo Valencia stopped from becoming a goal. Later, Guillermo Gómez intervened against a shot by Johan Amaya to preserve the Cartagena side’s lead.
Another home win over the same opponent
The most recent previous meeting between these teams at Jaime Morón had also ended in a 1–0 win for Real Cartagena: on January 30, 2026, with a goal by Fredy Montero.
This time, Manotas’s goal allowed the team to return to winning ways after the defeat by Quindío. The victory came in the second-half-of-the-year tournament’s semifinal stage; it does not yet mean a place in the final or promotion.
