The Cortulua Post
Match12 Aug 2026
The small margins put Cortulua out
Out, 4‑5 to Alianza Petrolera, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
A debut Victor Palacios will not forget — 7.91
There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.91 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.
Squad17 Aug 2026
A fracture rules Brian Torres out for 91 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Cortulua will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Both of them Alfredo Lemos's — 8.62
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.62, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Match15 Aug 2026
4 matches without a win for Cortulua
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Cortulua are no longer polite ones.
Squad17 Aug 2026
Juan Ospina 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 Cortulua this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match12 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
9 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Cortulua and Alianza Petrolera in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
The terraces17 Aug 2026
Cortulua supporters have found a favourite in Alfredo Lemos
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Alfredo Lemos 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.
Match15 Aug 2026
Deportes Tolima take the points off Cortulua
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
In brief
- Squad David Montoya gets it from the manager
- Squad 5 past Mateo Sinisterra
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Juan Ospina
