The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 23 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad

Edwin Arias: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Alianza Petrolera have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Fabricio Bustos 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.

Match

Alianza Petrolera come up short against Olimpia

Olimpia left with the points after a 0-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Camilo Ramirez out for 40 days

The medical room confirms 40 days on the sidelines for Camilo Ramirez, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom

Alianza Petrolera release $2.6M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Manuel Zapata

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

Alianza Petrolera get the job done against Millonarios

A 2-1 win over Millonarios, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Alianza Petrolera lose Camilo Ramirez

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

Loan watch

Caio Moreira wants to come home

“I did not go to Santa Fe to sit and watch. I want to come back to Alianza Petrolera and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 42 matches say the rest.

Squad

David Lemos is carrying Alianza Petrolera

4 goals and a season average of 7.25. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad

Juan Felipe Hincapié 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.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Andres Mina is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.42 with 27 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

Jose Murillo keeps Alianza Petrolera in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Camilo Ramirez out for 102 days

The medical room confirms 102 days on the sidelines for Camilo Ramirez, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match

Alianza Petrolera get the job done against Deportivo Pereira

A 2-0 win over Deportivo Pereira, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Loan watch

Caio Moreira has seen enough of Santa Fe

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Alianza Petrolera, and 4 appearances in 38 say he has earned the hearing.

Market

The Manuel Zapata talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Alianza Petrolera know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
