The dugout

Iván Scarpeta says Santa Fe went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Boardroom

A new deal for Miguel Sanchez

The board have signed the man in the dugout to a longer contract, which says more than any statement of support. Stability is easy to promise and costly to keep.

Market

Santa Fe may not be able to give Edwin Herrera what he wants

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

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Santa Fe

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

The dugout

No hiding place for Andrés Mosquera Marmolejo

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

Market

Javier Santos steps up from the Santa Fe academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Javier Santos has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Santa Fe promote Mateo Sanchez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mateo Sanchez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Camilo Hurtado joins the Santa Fe first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Camilo Hurtado is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Match

Atletico Bucaramanga take the points off Santa Fe

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

In brief
