Both of them Franco Fagúndez's — 8.24
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.24, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The run at home goes on for Santa Fe
13 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Juan Sebastián Sarmiento, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.72
A mark of 7.72 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Santa Fe make it 4 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Santa Fe have 4 straight wins of it.

Nobody could get near Maximiliano Lovera
Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Graduation day at Santa Fe
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Santa Fe see off Atletico Bucaramanga

Santa Fe supporters have found a favourite in Juan Sebastián Sarmiento
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Juan Sebastián Sarmiento has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
