BetPlay League Final 2023 I: teams, dates, format, and venues
After three matches, Alianza Petrolera and Atlético Nacional top the group with five points each. The Aurinegros boast a superior goal difference of +2 compared with +1 for the Verdolagas. Deportivo Pasto sits third with three points, ahead of Águilas Doradas who have one point.
What must Atlético Nacional do to reach the final?
Following a third date in which Verdolagas defeated Águilas at Atanasio Girardot and a goalless draw between Pasto and Alianza, the path to the final is straightforward for Nacional. The victory tied Nacional with Bodhert’s team on points, setting the stage for the second round to be played with both teams on equal footing. Nacional now has direct control over its fate, needing three wins while hoping the Oilers drop points along the way. A draw or loss by Alianza could shake up the standings and allow Nacional to move ahead on goal difference, depending on how the remaining matches unfold.
If the points are still level after all matches, Nacional will aim to improve its goal balance relative to the Oilers and Pasto, since the tiebreakers shift when the points are equal and the standard tie-limiting rules apply.

If a tie occurs among teams ranked third through eighth in Phase II, a predefined tie-breaking order applies.
1. The larger goal difference in Phase II, the semifinal home runs, of the BetPlay DIMAYOR I 2023 League.
2. The greater number of goals scored in Phase II across the semifinals.
3. The higher total of away goals in Phase II of the BetPlay DIMAYOR I 2023 League.
