The new stage of the season got off to exactly the kind of start fans were hoping for.

Those results say a lot about how comfortable this side is on both sides of the ball.
The home factor matters here too. At the Manuel Murillo Toro stadium, Deportes Tolima tend to play with more confidence and rarely let opponents dictate the game. That's why the hosts come into this round's central match with a decent chance of keeping the run going.
