Squad

Javier Mena breaks a bone — 84 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 84 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Faber Gil hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Deportivo Pereira can pretend not to have heard.

Match

No end in sight to Deportivo Pereira's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Deportivo Pereira has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Yuber Quiñónes

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Yuber Quiñónes signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Yuber Quiñónes and Deportivo Pereira agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Deportivo Pereira

Walmer Pacheco 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.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Deportivo Pereira

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.

Market

Samuel Atehortúa moves on

Spartak Trnava pay $200.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market

Diego Cardona steps up from the Deportivo Pereira academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Diego Cardona 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
