Cristian Mejia 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 Valledupar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Diego Romero signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Diego Romero and Valledupar agree another 3 years.

Alfredo Rios 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.

Match12 Aug 2026

The small margins put Valledupar out

Out, 0‑3 to Atletico Nacional, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Valledupar are taken apart by Atletico Nacional — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Nobody could get near Mateo Zapata

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Valledupar

Mateo Zapata 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.

Sebastian Montero 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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

The game went through Magrão — 6.75

Marked 6.75 on 9 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Valledupar dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Luis Castillo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Luis Castillo commits to Valledupar for another 3 years.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Cristian Mejia left out for tactical reasons at Valledupar

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
