A row about effort at Depor
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Gabriel Eraso was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

A bad afternoon for Depor against Bogota
0‑2 to Bogota, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Edwin Hormaza gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Rafael Hurtado faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Rafael Hurtado after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Christopher Cano makes the team of the month
Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Julio Sinisterra has had enough of the bench
“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Depor will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

Nobody could get near Juan David Viáfara
Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Carlos Cabezas is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The chances came and went for Alejandro Oñate
6 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.
In brief
- Market Yulián Montaño is free to find somewhere else
- Market Still no ink between Depor and Juan Diego Perdomo
- The dugout No place in the plan for Alex Mosquera
