Yimy Gómez keeps Deportivo Pereira in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Match12 Aug 2026
Deportivo Pereira through in the cup
A 2‑1 win over Real Cartagena, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.
Match15 Aug 2026
Deportivo Pereira taken apart
1‑4 to Deportivo Cali, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Marco Pérez 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 Pereira this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Miguel Aguirre runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Edinson Largacha in the eights
A performance of 8.56 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

No hiding place for Marcus Vinicius
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marcus Vinicius, and the manager let it.

Nobody left the Deportivo Pereira 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.

Marco Pérez keeps on missing
Shots: 10, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.
In brief
