The Deportivo Cali Chronicle
Match12 Aug 2026
Alexis Manyoma sends Deportivo Cali through
Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Alexis Manyoma obliged against Depor. 4‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Deportivo Cali.
Match15 Aug 2026
Avilés Hurtado leads the rout of Deportivo Pereira
5‑0, and Avilés Hurtado took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Deportivo Cali tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Vintage Avilés Hurtado — 9.95
At 39 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 9.95, and nobody on the pitch better.

Alexis Manyoma scores twice — 8.12
Two goals and a mark of 8.12 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Match15 Aug 2026
Deportivo Cali cannot stop winning
3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Emanuel Reynoso in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Deportivo Cali this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Ninety minutes of Brayan Moreno at his very best
Marked 8.48. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Deportivo Cali.

Johan Martínez was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.51. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
In brief
- Squad 200 appearances for Nicolás Benedetti
- The dugout The view from the dugout
