Full time on the season at Valledupar
Position 5 on 35 points. Every season is a story and this is the last line of it, and now the club has three months to decide what the next one is about.

David Falcao, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 9.91
A mark of 9.91 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

A day David Falcao will not forget
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

7 saves: James Gomez was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Santiago Rátiva will not be coming to Valledupar
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Tigres is saying, and nobody at Valledupar is enjoying the guessing.

Nobody wins at Valledupar
10 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Words exchanged at Valledupar
Javier Rodriguez 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.
In brief
