A knee injury of the worst kind for Luis Gonzalez
28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Llaneros lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

No sign of nerves from Gabriel Otero at 21 — 8.00
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Gabriel Otero did not need any: 8.00, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

David Rincon 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 The request is on a desk at Llaneros, and it is not being withdrawn.

A falling-out at Llaneros
Yeferson Murillo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Thiago Yossen 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.

One of their own: Gabriel Otero
He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Benjamín Romano was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.55. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

No time for Trujillanos to settle
The goal that put Trujillanos ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Llaneros equalised, 4 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.
In brief
- Match Llaneros share the spoils with Trujillanos
- The dugout Yeferson Murillo gets picked when it counts
- Player ratings Yeferson Murillo was unplayable
