Despite having only played a handful of games, Palomeque's goal scoring abilities became an important factor for Petrolera as they reached their most important moment in history. In the first leg of the final, Palomeque netted what would be his most vital goal yet, helping Petrolera top América 2–1.{{Cite web |title=Alianza Petrolera vs. América de Cali - 28 November 2012 - Soccerway |url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2012/11/28/colombia/primera-b/alianza-petrolera/corporacion-deportiva-america/1415657/ |access-date=2023-11-07 |website=int.soccerway.com}} Him along with his team, failed to find the net in the second leg, with América eventually tying up the series at 2-2. However, he still managed to score in the penalty shoot-out which Petrolera remarkably won 4–3, therefore being promoted.{{Cite web |last=Rivera |first=Alejandro Garzón |date=2012-12-01 |title=Alianza Petrolera es campeón del Torneo de Ascenso |url=https://caracol.com.co/radio/2012/12/01/deportes/1354381740_804878.html |access-date=2023-11-07 |website=Caracol Radio |language=es}}
