Fast start from Boca Junior

Boca Junior de Soledad raced into a two‑goal lead inside the first 20 minutes.

Fusion Caribe came out for the second half with renewed energy and equalised just five minutes after the restart. Midfielder Jhon Jairo Cuesta drove forward from midfield, exchanged a quick one‑two with a teammate, and applied a clinical finish to make it 2–2.

The momentum was now firmly with the away side, and they completed the comeback in the 73rd minute. A swift move down the left flank saw substitute Luis Fernando Palacio cut inside and curl a shot beyond the Boca Junior goalkeeper. Fusion Caribe managed the remainder of the game expertly, limiting Boca Junior to speculative long‑range efforts.
