Squad28 Dec 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Junior Palacios

128 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Cortulua lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market28 Dec 2026

Julian Sinisterra puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Cortulua, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Mateo Restrepo 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 Cortulua this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets28 Dec 2026

Independiente Medellin tell Cortulua: Andrés Dávila is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad28 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Cortulua

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Julian Sinisterra was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Fabian Lemos

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad28 Dec 2026

No place for Juan José Forero in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Cortulua are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Transfer targets28 Dec 2026

Cortulua ask about Andrés Dávila

A loan enquiry to Independiente Medellin: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Cortulua ask about Benjamín Sagües Barreiro

A loan enquiry to Estudiantes: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Match6 Nov 2026

A European night to remember for Cortulua

0‑0 against Nacional, under lights, against people who do not speak the same language as the crowd. These are the evenings a club measures its decade in, and there are never as many of them as anybody expects.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Mateo Restrepo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 32. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Felipe Arias says Cortulua 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.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Cortulua

Mateo Restrepo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Julian Sinisterra falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The team sheet said everything about David Herrera

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told David Herrera.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Juan Muriel 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 Juan Muriel is on it.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Santiago Sinisterra: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Market9 Nov 2026

Victor Mina linked with a move away

The name of Victor Mina keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Cortulua say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad3 Aug 2026

57 days out for Paulo Moura after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Cortulua will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Mateo Restrepo

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market3 Aug 2026

Betis come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Cortulua did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

What a way to start for David Herrera — 7.41

0 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 7.41 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Mateo Restrepo 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 Cortulua this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market3 Aug 2026

Javier Sinisterra wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Kevin Medina

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match1 Aug 2026

Cortulua see off Envigado

Three points for Cortulua, 1‑0 the final word against Envigado in a contest settled by the finer margins.
