Both of them Starling Yendis's — 8.09
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.09, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

A falling-out at Bolívar
Giovanni Dolgetta and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match8 Aug 2026
Bolívar come up short against Dynamo Puerto
Dynamo Puerto left with the points after a 3‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Match8 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Bolívar and Dynamo Puerto in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Bolívar agree a free transfer for Osmar Morales
Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

David Rincon steps up from the Bolívar academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. David Rincon 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.
In brief
- Squad Mauricio Páez signs on for more
- Squad 15 new faces, and Bolívar are still learning each other
- The dugout Junior Cordova: “No excuses”
