No sign of nerves from Matías Lozano at 19 — 8.29

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Matías Lozano did not need any: 8.29, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Tomás Barbero 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 Universitario Popayan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A row about effort at Universitario Popayan

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

Lorenzo Fernández runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout10 Apr 2028

No hiding place for Julian Garcia

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

Universitario Popayan lose Fernando Montero

27 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match8 Apr 2028

Universitario Popayan rescue it on 94 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 94. Patriotas had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Match10 Apr 2028

The half-term report on Universitario Popayan

Position 6, 14 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

Match8 Apr 2028

Matías Lozano rescues a point for Universitario Popayan

It needed Matías Lozano to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Patriotas, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad13 Mar 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Carlos Vargas

31 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Universitario Popayan lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match11 Mar 2028

The wait goes on for Universitario Popayan

5 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.

Squad13 Mar 2028

Words at Universitario Popayan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Julian Garcia 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.

Ángel Méndez 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 Universitario Popayan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Matías Lozano beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad13 Mar 2028

Universitario Popayan count the cost of losing Fernando Montero

56 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

Bryan Marín 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.

Match11 Mar 2028

Universitario Popayan share the spoils with Bogota

A 1‑1 draw with Bogota leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

Sergio Herrera on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Sergio Herrera after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
