Squad

Kevin Parra pulls a muscle — 15 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 15 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad

Rodrigo Mina 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.

Squad

The manager plants his flag on Wilmar Arango

“Judge me on him.” Managers do not say that kind of thing by accident — it moves the pressure from Wilmar Arango’s shoulders onto his own, and both of them know it.

Market

Deportes Quindio may not be able to give Jhoao Rodríguez what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Jhoao Rodríguez wants continental football; whether Deportes Quindio can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Javier Reina 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 Deportes Quindio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A move Nahuel Olmedo would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Nahuel Olmedo is living that version at Deportes Quindio, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Joel Silva keeps Deportes Quindio in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Deportes Quindio out of the cup

Deportivo Pasto ended it 3‑4. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Match

Deportes Quindio let it slip despite Andrés Carabalí

Andrés Carabalí had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Deportivo Pasto were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings

Andrés Carabalí scores twice — 8.40

Two goals and a mark of 8.40 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Javier Reina 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 Deportes Quindio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ronald Angulo

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

No hiding place for Uberney Rovira

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Uberney Rovira, and the manager let it.

Squad

The plan did not have a place for Martín Payares

Nobody at Deportes Quindio is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Player ratings

Off the bench and decisive: Wilmar Arango

The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. Deportes Quindio were going nowhere until he came on.

Squad

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Deportes Quindio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Nobody at Deportes Quindio has picked up the phone to Santiago Roa

36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market

Talks stall between Deportes Quindio and Wilmar Arango

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
