Carlos Renteria then restored the advantage two minutes later and Junior’s resistance was broken when Torres netted his second in the 32nd minute. Edwin Cardona made it 4-1 with six minutes to go.
Junior were a man down for the final 15 minutes following a straight red card for John Viafara.
Millonarios hosted Boyaca Chico in Bogota and beat their guests 3-1. Edison Toloza and Alejandro Cichero scored in the opening half to hand Millonarios a 2-0 lead at half time.
Juan Mahecha then pulled one back near the hour, but Carlos Preciado made it 3-1 in the 72nd minute.
In Friday’s only game, Envigado beat Santa Fe 3-1 with goals from Neider Morantes (2) and Armando Carrillo. Sergio Galvan Rey scored for the visitors.
