Oscar Hernandez beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 38. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The wait goes on for Cortulua
6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

No sign of nerves from Sebastian Valencia at 21 — 7.84
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Sebastian Valencia did not need any: 7.84, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Brayan Benítez keeps Cortulua in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Cortulua leaking at the back
6 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Cortulua come up short against Santa Fe
Santa Fe left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

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

Daniel Palacios 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.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 2‑3 defeat, delivered by Santiago Muriel to a room that had heard them before.
In brief
- Squad Sebastián Viveros is a square peg at Cortulua
- Squad Camilo Romero in a row with a teammate
- The dugout Cortulua keep their word to Daniel Palacios
