Leonardo Castro Lifts Millonarios Past Llaneros 1-0 — Millonarios - Llaneros
Millonarios - Llaneros ended 1-0 at the estadio Metropolitano de Techo, with Leonardo Castro scoring in the 80th minute to settle a match that had been tighter than the scoreline suggested. Millonarios took three points from its Copa Betplay 2026 start after spending long stretches under pressure.
Castro Decides Millonarios - Llaneros
Llaneros created the first big chance in the 7th minute and kept pushing after that, forcing Millonarios to absorb a difficult first half that finished 0-0. The visitors came close again around the 70th minute, but the post and goalkeeper Novoa kept the match level.
That missed opening proved costly. Castro, a Millonarios forward, found the decisive goal in the 80th minute and gave his side the only finish it needed in front of a match that had stayed open for most of the night.
Novoa Holds Firm For Millonarios
Novoa's save on the 70th-minute chance mattered because Llaneros had already shown it could create danger early and late. Millonarios did not control the match cleanly, but it stayed organized enough to survive those two clear threats before Castro ended it.
The 1-0 result gives Millonarios three important points and a winning start in Copa Betplay 2026. For Llaneros, the first big chance at minute 7 and the late sequence around minute 70 were the moments that came closest to changing the game before Millonarios found the winner.
