The Trujillanos Sentinel
Match1 Aug 2026
No mercy from Trujillanos
Angostura will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Trujillanos were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

A brace, and José Rivas Gamboa takes the afternoon — 9.00
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. José Rivas Gamboa provided it, and the 9.00 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

No sign of nerves from Fabián Pacheco at 20 — 8.40
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Fabián Pacheco did not need any: 8.40, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Agustín Araujo stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Agustín Araujo and Trujillanos agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Tempers go at Trujillanos
Leomar Mosquera was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A row about effort at Trujillanos
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jhonny González was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The terraces3 Aug 2026
One of their own: Fabián Pacheco
He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

50 goals in the shirt for José Rivas Gamboa
50 for the club now, each one filed in somebody’s memory with a date and a scoreline. Numbers like this are what supporters argue about in twenty years.

Still no ink between Trujillanos and Jhonny González
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Trujillanos, another week without a signature from Jhonny González.
