Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Both of them Guillermo Celis'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.

Racing Ferrol come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Deportes Tolima did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Deportes Tolima may not be able to give Edwar López what he wants
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Edwar López wants continental football; whether Deportes Tolima can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Guillermo Celis sends Deportes Tolima past Cortulua

Juergen Elitím gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Francisco Cordoba, on a 3‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Juan Sebastián Pérez is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

When it matters, Juan Pablo Torres plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
Looking ahead24 Aug 2026
Jorge Cabezas Hurtado goes back to face Millonarios
