Nobody could get near Javier Ortíz

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Marlon Carabali out for 65 days

Alejandro Bacca is a Barranquilla player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.
