Squad22 Mar 2027

A one-man rearguard from Marcos Acuña

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The terraces22 Mar 2027

Supporters organise against the Alianza Petrolera board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market22 Mar 2027

Juan Alberto Mosquera 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 Alianza Petrolera can pretend not to have heard.

Squad22 Mar 2027

A falling-out at Alianza Petrolera

Tomás Aranda and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Juan Alberto Mosquera

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match20 Mar 2027

Alianza Petrolera come up short against Universitario Popayan

Universitario Popayan left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom22 Mar 2027

Nobody left the Alianza Petrolera dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

A promise honoured at Alianza Petrolera

Something was said to Tomás Aranda and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

Fernando Gonzalez faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Fernando Gonzalez after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad1 Mar 2027

A one-man rearguard from Marcos Acuña

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match24 Feb 2027

The small margins put Alianza Petrolera out

Out, 0‑2 to Jaguares, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings1 Mar 2027

Tomás Aranda, 19, steals the show — 7.93

Marked 7.93 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market1 Mar 2027

Cristián Blanco raises the bar for Alianza Petrolera

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Alianza Petrolera heard it as anything else.

Squad1 Mar 2027

A falling-out at Alianza Petrolera

Jacobo Escobar and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Felipe Ávila

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Felipe Ávila, and the manager let it.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Héctor Solano stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Héctor Solano and Alianza Petrolera agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings1 Mar 2027

A masterclass from Luciano Servín

Marked 8.05 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Alianza Petrolera are still strangers to each other

7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The Morón Post

21 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad21 Dec 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Federico Díaz

119 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Morón lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market21 Dec 2026

Maximiliano González 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.

Market21 Dec 2026

Morón say no — this time

The offer from Independiente CG for Marcos Acuña 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.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Santiago Kubiszyn in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Morón this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Mariano Bittolo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Loan watch21 Dec 2026

Leonel Cardozo has seen enough of Real Pilar

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Morón, and 0 appearances in 0 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Elías Contreras gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Elías Contreras is on it.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Tomás Ramírez asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market21 Dec 2026

Santiago Kubiszyn linked with a move away

The name of Santiago Kubiszyn keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Morón say nothing, which says plenty.

The Morón Post

16 Nov 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Gastón González: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Morón have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market16 Nov 2026

Gerónimo Ulibarri has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Morón they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Morón count the cost of losing Mariano Bittolo

16 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Morón

Santiago Kubiszyn and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Words at Morón training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gastón González is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Emanuel Iñíguez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Juan Martín Rojas knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Morón, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Tomás Ramírez has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Morón will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A wage question at Morón

Juan Martín Rojas has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.
