Silverware for Alianza Petrolera
They will talk about this season in this town for a long time. The trophy comes home with the squad, and the route is already agreed.
Squad20 Dec 2027
Juan David Rueda breaks a bone — 17 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 17 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The knee: Ivan Gomez out for 17 days
17 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Alianza Petrolera lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Squad20 Dec 2027
Jan Franc Lucumí is named among the best
There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Alianza Petrolera will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Tempers go at Alianza Petrolera
Danilo Arboleda 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.
Transfer targets20 Dec 2027
Alianza Petrolera bid $77.0K for Johan Rodriguez
The offer went to La Equidad this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
Transfer targets20 Dec 2027
Alianza Petrolera baulk at the price for Yovany García
Depor wanted more than $80.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
