Marked for Ivan Perez

Squad8 Mar 2027

15 days out for Ivan Perez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Once Caldas will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout8 Mar 2027

Felipe Gómez keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Once Caldas may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market8 Mar 2027

Andrés Roa is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Once Caldas is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match6 Mar 2027

No end in sight to Once Caldas's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Once Caldas has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Michael Barrios signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Michael Barrios and Once Caldas agree another 2 years.

Match6 Mar 2027

No clean sheets in sight for Once Caldas

4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Match6 Mar 2027

Jefry Zapata’s goal not enough for Once Caldas

Jefry Zapata scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Deportivo Cali, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings8 Mar 2027

Mateo Zuleta was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout8 Mar 2027

Luis Sánchez 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.

In brief

  • Squad A falling-out at Once Caldas
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict

Squad1 Mar 2027

Sebastián Alzate is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Sebastián Alzate: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match24 Feb 2027

Cup progress for Once Caldas

A 3‑3 win over Fortaleza CEIF, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad1 Mar 2027

A fracture rules Ivan Perez out for 22 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Once Caldas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings1 Mar 2027

A brace, and Camilo Mena takes the afternoon — 8.59

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Camilo Mena provided it, and the 8.59 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings1 Mar 2027

Nobody could get near Mateo Zuleta

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match27 Feb 2027

Independiente Medellin take the points off Once Caldas

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Michael Barrios

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

Market1 Mar 2027

Jáder Quiñónes has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Once Caldas can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Match24 Feb 2027

Once Caldas caught on 120 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Fortaleza CEIF scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

In brief

  • Squad Words exchanged at Once Caldas
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout Daniel Londoño has become a man the manager trusts

Match20 Feb 2027

Nowhere to hide for Once Caldas

0‑3 against Atletico Nacional, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad22 Feb 2027

31 days out for Ivan Perez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Once Caldas will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market22 Feb 2027

Déinner Quiñónes hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Once Caldas can pretend not to have heard.

Market22 Feb 2027

Once Caldas may not be able to give Andrés Colorado what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Andrés Colorado wants continental football; whether Once Caldas can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Once Caldas

Jesús Camargo 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.

The dugout22 Feb 2027

No hiding place for Ethan González

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

Boardroom22 Feb 2027

Nobody left the Once Caldas 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.

The dugout22 Feb 2027

Sebastian Hurtado answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout22 Feb 2027

When it matters, Jesús Camargo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

In brief
