Match

6 matches without a win for Once Caldas

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Once Caldas are no longer polite ones.

The dugout

Juan Johao González says Once Caldas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

Once Caldas come up short against Cortulua

Cortulua left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Léyder Morán 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 Once Caldas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Yojan Torres out for 26 days

The medical room confirms 26 days on the sidelines for Yojan Torres, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Once Caldas 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 dugout

Juan Murillo faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Juan Murillo after 1‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Mateo Zuleta

4 goals and a season average of 7.26 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

The dugout

Jáder Quiñónes 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 Jáder Quiñónes is on it.

Match

Once Caldas come up short in Europe

0‑1 away to the standard of Sport Huancayo. Nobody will pretend this was a scandal; the gap is real, it is measurable, and closing it is a project rather than a team talk.

Match

Once Caldas up to position 3

57 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad

Real improvement from Daniel Marmolejo at Once Caldas

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniel Marmolejo is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

A bad afternoon for Once Caldas against Deportes Tolima

1‑3 to Deportes Tolima, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Facundo Altamirano

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

Squad

Once Caldas lose Yojan Torres

55 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout

Jefry Zapata left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Jefry Zapata will call it something else in private.

Squad

Juan Pablo Otálvaro 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 Once Caldas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑3 Juan Murillo left the room before anybody could ask which.
