Match4 Nov 2026

La Equidad beaten on the continent

0‑2 against Independiente, and an evening that measured the gap rather than the ninety minutes. Nothing about it was a disgrace and nothing about it was close.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Tempers go at La Equidad

Santiago Hernandez was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A row about effort at La Equidad

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

Squad9 Nov 2026

Alfredo Duque signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Alfredo Duque commits to La Equidad for another 4 years.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Fabian Uribe: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Pablo Pereyra 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 Pablo Pereyra is on it.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Alfredo Duque

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Alfredo Duque, and the manager let it.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Bookings catch up with Francisco Caicedo

One yellow too many, and a match watched from the stand. The most avoidable absence in football, and La Equidad will feel it on Saturday.

Market9 Nov 2026

The Francisco Caicedo question follows La Equidad around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Francisco Caicedo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match21 Oct 2026

La Equidad come up short in Europe

1‑3 away to the standard of Independiente. Nobody will pretend this was a scandal; the gap is real, it is measurable, and closing it is a project rather than a team talk.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

A brace, and Julian Cuadrado takes the afternoon — 8.71

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Julian Cuadrado provided it, and the 8.71 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match24 Oct 2026

La Equidad see off Independiente Medellin

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

The terraces26 Oct 2026

La Equidad supporters have found a favourite in Julian Uribe

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Julian Uribe has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A row about effort at La Equidad

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

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Francisco Caicedo was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.05. 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.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Manuel Giraldo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Manuel Giraldo, and the manager let it.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Francisco Caicedo is carrying La Equidad

8 goals and a season average of 7.22. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Francisco Caicedo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at La Equidad will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market19 Oct 2026

Julian Uribe hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what La Equidad can pretend not to have heard.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Carlos Vargas is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Francisco Caicedo 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.

Match17 Oct 2026

La Equidad make home a hard place to visit

9 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at La Equidad

Andres Palacios and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Rafael Quintero out for 14 days

The medical room confirms 14 days on the sidelines for Rafael Quintero, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Francisco Caicedo was the difference for La Equidad

Marked 7.40. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

When it matters, Sergio Santos plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Fabian Uribe: “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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A muscle injury sidelines Daniel Duque for 15 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. La Equidad will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Andres Palacios 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A row about effort at La Equidad

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

Francisco Caicedo named player of the month

The award goes to Francisco Caicedo, and nobody around here is inclined to argue with the choice.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

When it matters, Pablo Pereyra plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

No hiding place for David Diaz

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to David Diaz, and the manager let it.
