Hayen Palacios scored one and assisted another as Independiente Medellín edged Deportivo Pasto 3-2 in a chaotic Primera A, Apertura encounter. The result lifts the hosts, though they were outplayed for long spells and will need far more control in their next outing.

Palacios restored the lead with an unmarked finish at a corner before Joider Micolta’s close-range effort made it 2-2 just before the break. John Edwin Montaño settled it on 65 minutes, pouncing on a loose ball after a scramble in the box.
