Match

La Equidad do the business in Europe

1‑0. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and La Equidad came through the finding-out well against Botafogo.

Squad

Sergio Santos 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.

Match

La Equidad come up short against Union Magdalena

Union Magdalena left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Match

The run at home goes on for La Equidad

8 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad

Manuel Giraldo 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.

Squad

A month that belonged to Sebastian Zapata

The young player of the month award goes to a 20-year-old at La Equidad who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.

The dugout

Fabian Uribe faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Fabian Uribe after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Player ratings

Sergio Santos takes the honours

Marked 7.56 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, La Equidad had the best player on the pitch.

Squad

A step back for Daniel Duque at La Equidad

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Match

The cup run ends for La Equidad

0‑3 against Junior, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

The terraces

A cup hiding at Junior leaves La Equidad explaining themselves

0-3, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Player ratings

Sebastian Zapata, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.12

A mark of 8.12 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Tempers go at La Equidad

Sergio Santos 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.

Squad

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.

The dugout

Santiago Hernandez 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 terraces

The crowd has taken to Sebastian Zapata

At 20 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.

Market

No place for Daniel Duque in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Daniel Duque has his answer from La Equidad; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Boardroom

Inquest at La Equidad

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

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 dugout

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.

The dugout

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.

Match

Francisco Caicedo sends La Equidad through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Francisco Caicedo obliged against Atletico Nacional. 2‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is La Equidad.

Market

Julian Cuadrado turns Casa Pia down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market

Daniel Duque 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 La Equidad, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

A brace, and Francisco Caicedo takes the afternoon — 8.48

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Francisco Caicedo provided it, and the 8.48 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Sebastian Zapata, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.54

A mark of 8.54 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

Nobody wants to play La Equidad right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Match

La Equidad keep winning on the road

4 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Squad

Tempers go at La Equidad

Andres Palacios 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.

Match

La Equidad see off Aguilas Doradas

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