Squad2 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Santa Fe

Maximiliano Lovera 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

The manager plants his flag on Maximiliano Lovera

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

Extra work for Iván Scarpeta at Santa Fe

The coaching staff have set Iván Scarpeta something separate to do. Whether it is a weakness being addressed or a strength being sharpened, nobody outside the building will know until it shows up on a Saturday.

Yílmar Velásquez 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Maximiliano Lovera 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 Santa Fe this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Iván Scarpeta wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Match26 Sep 2026

3 matches without a goal for Santa Fe

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Match26 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Santa Fe against America de Cali

0‑1 to America de Cali, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Yílmar Velásquez 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Santa Fe training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yílmar Velásquez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Iván Scarpeta

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nahuel Bustos runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Nahuel Bustos named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Nahuel Bustos is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Luis Palacios was the difference for Santa Fe

Marked 7.20. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Helibelton Palacios stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Helibelton Palacios and Santa Fe agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Víctor Moreno

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

Market10 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Andrés Mosquera Marmolejo's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
