Guillermo Celis goes up and wins it — 7.21
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.21 for the rest of it.

Guillermo Celis signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Guillermo Celis and Deportes Tolima agree another 2 years.

Atletico Bucaramanga take the points off Deportes Tolima
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

One of our own: Andres Barrios joins the Deportes Tolima first team

Tempers go at Deportes Tolima
Shean Barbosa 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.

No place for Juergen Elitím in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Deportes Tolima are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
In brief
- Squad Deportes Tolima are still strangers to each other
- The dugout Francisco Cordoba answers for it
