Camilo Machado scores twice — 8.74
Two goals and a mark of 8.74 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Samuel Montero, 18, steals the show — 8.35
Marked 8.35 at 18, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Mateo Puerta was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Emanuel Reynoso 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 Deportivo Cali this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
