Boardroom6 Apr 2037

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Alianza Petrolera

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Player ratings6 Apr 2037

Ivan Gomez, 34, rolls back the years — 8.69

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.69 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Match4 Apr 2037

The wait goes on for Alianza Petrolera

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match4 Apr 2037

Ivan Gomez’s goal not enough for Alianza Petrolera

Ivan Gomez scored, and precious little else went right: 4‑5 to Deportivo Cali, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad6 Apr 2037

Debinson Mateus signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Debinson Mateus commits to Alianza Petrolera for another 2 years.

Squad6 Apr 2037

Tempers go at Alianza Petrolera

Andrés Redín 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.

Match4 Apr 2037

Ivan Gomez among the goals in a wild afternoon

9 goals in one match, Ivan Gomez on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Alianza Petrolera and Deportivo Cali.

Squad6 Apr 2037

Camilo Durán 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.

Match4 Apr 2037

Alianza Petrolera leaking at the back

4 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Squad16 Feb 2037

A one-man rearguard from Debinson Mateus

There were 10 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.

Match14 Feb 2037

No end in sight to Alianza Petrolera's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Alianza Petrolera has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad16 Feb 2037

Alianza Petrolera count the cost of losing Brian Ramirez

64 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings16 Feb 2037

A masterclass from Andrés Redín

Marked 8.10 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings16 Feb 2037

Nobody could get near Juan Camilo Quiñonez

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match14 Feb 2037

Alianza Petrolera share the spoils with Valledupar

A 1‑1 draw with Valledupar leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Market16 Feb 2037

The Yojan Carrillo 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.

In brief
