The Cortulua Post
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
The cruellest goal, and it is James Sanchez's
A touch he did not want, a bounce he could not have read, and his name in the wrong column. There is no consoling a man after one of these, and Cortulua will not try tonight.

Alejandro Caicedo has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Cortulua can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Fabian Gomez stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Fabian Gomez and Cortulua agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

A goal and an assist for Edwin Perez — 7.99
Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.99 beside his name.

Words at Cortulua training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fabian Gomez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

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

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

Juan Ramirez 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.

A muscle injury sidelines Julian Montero for 15 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Cortulua will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.
In brief
- The dugout Hector Muriel answers for it
- The dugout Fabian Gomez knocks on the manager's door
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Victor Cuadrado
