Santa Fe strike at the death to beat Atletico Bucaramanga

A defender's goal wins it for Santa Fe — 7.79
1 for Yílmar Velásquez, marked 7.79, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Nahuel Bustos runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Carlos Rangel steps up from the Santa Fe academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Carlos Rangel 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.

Santa Fe get the job done against Atletico Bucaramanga
A 1‑0 win over Atletico Bucaramanga, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Jáder Obrian falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
In brief
- Squad The manager makes an example of Jáder Obrian
- Squad When it matters, Maximiliano Lovera plays
- Player ratings Edwin Mosquera changes it off the bench
