Juan Lemos runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Ivan Bacca: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” La Equidad have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match10 Feb 2029

Still nobody has beaten La Equidad

The unbeaten run reaches 9. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

David Restrepo shuts the door

Defensive actions: 26, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Raúl Lozano 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 La Equidad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings12 Feb 2029

Nothing got past Julian Palacios

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 22 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match10 Feb 2029

Ivan Bacca the difference as La Equidad beat Fortaleza CEIF

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ivan Bacca. 1‑0 against Fortaleza CEIF, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings12 Feb 2029

One of those days for Ivan Bacca

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.06, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Cristian Falla stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Cristian Falla and La Equidad agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

From our football correspondent Steady

Match19 Jun 2028

La Equidad are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 41 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Match17 Jun 2028

La Equidad see off Fortaleza CEIF

Three points for La Equidad, 2‑1 the final word against Fortaleza CEIF in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings19 Jun 2028

A masterclass from Johan Sinisterra

Marked 8.86 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Defences have started doubling up on Juan Manuel Rengifo

7 goals and a season average of 7.41 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Player ratings19 Jun 2028

Nobody could get near Juan Lemos

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings19 Jun 2028

A masterclass from Francisco Restrepo

Marked 8.08 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Jefferson Santos told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Jefferson Santos has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at La Equidad.
