The Fortaleza CEIF Herald
Match20 Feb 2027
Fortaleza CEIF run riot against Depor
5‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Both of them Sebastián Herrera's — 8.40
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.40, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Richardson Rivas, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.73
A mark of 7.73 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Tempers go at Fortaleza CEIF
Sebastián Navarro 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 terraces22 Feb 2027
The crowd has taken to Richardson Rivas
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match20 Feb 2027
Sebastián Herrera at the heart of a fast Fortaleza CEIF start
2 goals inside twenty minutes with Sebastián Herrera in the middle of it, and Depor unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

One of those days for Andrés Amaya
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.38, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Ninety minutes of Sebastián Navarro at his very best
Marked 8.33. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Fortaleza CEIF.
Squad22 Feb 2027
Ivan Ramirez stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Ivan Ramirez and Fortaleza CEIF agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
In brief
- Squad Fortaleza CEIF pick somebody else ahead of Santiago Cuero
- Squad “I want to play”: Santiago Cuero speaks
- The terraces The press cannot get enough of Sebastián Herrera
