The La Equidad Sentinel
Squad22 Feb 2027
64 days out for Hugo Herrera after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. La Equidad will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

No end in sight to La Equidad's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at La Equidad has to find a result from somewhere.

Tempers go at La Equidad
Felipe Gonzalez 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.

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

The manager makes an example of Cristian Alomía
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Hector Palacios: “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.

Juan Santos is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.
Player ratings22 Feb 2027
A day to forget for Juan Santos
Marked 4.75, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

La Equidad pick somebody else ahead of Felipe Gonzalez
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
In brief
- Match No goals between La Equidad and Atletico Bucaramanga
- Squad Juan José Tello makes the position his own
- Player ratings Leonardo Quintero was immovable
