Scoring charts

Brian Rios is the division’s leading scorer

3 goals in 2 games, and nobody else in the league close to it. Universitario Popayan have the man every defence in the division is planning around.

Scoring charts

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Barranquilla

Jordan Barrera was marked 8.19 and had a hand in 2 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

Market

Yorleys Mena puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Llaneros, and it is not being withdrawn.

Scoring charts

Diego Mendoza leads the division for assists — 7.80

The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 2 of them made by a Barranquilla player marked 7.80, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Market

Brayan Murillo is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Envigado is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Scoring charts

Best marks in the division for Brian Rios — 8.50

8.50 on average across 2 matches for Universitario Popayan. The chart that notices the players a goal tally never does, and this month it noticed him.

Market

So close: Jaider Cortes’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Patriotas moved on, Jaider Cortes reports back to Depor, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Scoring charts

Ruyery Blanco makes the list

2 appearances, 3 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

William Hurtado is right behind him

2 goals in 2 appearances for Envigado, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Scoring charts

Still scoring: Jordan Barrera

2 in 2 for Barranquilla. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

Scoring charts

Still scoring: Cristian Rivas

3 in 2 for Bogota. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

Scoring charts

A place in the eleven for José Caicedo

7.39 over 2 games. Nobody frames a team-of-the-month selection and everybody who has been in one remembers the month they were.

Not going: Johan Uribe stays at Universitario Popayan

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Barranquilla had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market

Kevin Castro hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bogota can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Brayan Murillo has said yes to Real Santander

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Envigado have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Only the photograph left for Johao Camacho

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Johao Camacho will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Real Santander the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Jhonier Alomía told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Jhonier Alomía has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Depor.

Market

Mateo Castillo linked with a move away

The name of Mateo Castillo keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Real Cartagena say nothing, which says plenty.

David Barbosa asks to leave Tigres

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Juan Alberto Sánchez is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Bogota is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Mateo Castillo wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Santiago Roa is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Deportes Quindio is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Leones say no — this time

The offer from Bukovyna for Santiago Montoya was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Eduardo Esterilla says no to Borneo

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Eduardo Esterilla had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Llaneros may not be able to give Daniel Mantilla what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Daniel Mantilla wants continental football; whether Llaneros can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Market

The clock runs on Nicolás Gil's contract

5 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market

Reynaldo Fontalvo is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Real Cartagena has been clear about where Reynaldo Fontalvo stands, which is more than many ever get.
