Player ratings

Gustavo Mosquera scores twice — 9.26

Two goals and a mark of 9.26 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match

Depor find a way past Bogota

Bogota made Depor work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

One of their own: Ronaldo Royero

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout

A satisfied Carlos Duque

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑1, Carlos Duque could afford to be generous.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Stiwar Veira

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Depor told Stiwar Veira something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

No hiding place for David Agudelo

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

Squad

The division's best last weekend was a Depor man

It is a small honour and it is not nothing: somebody watched every match in the division and decided that Gustavo Mosquera was the best thing in any of them.

Player ratings

Juan David Viáfara runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

Stiwar Veira knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Depor, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match

No end in sight to Depor's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Depor has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Juan David Viáfara runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Patriotas take the points off Depor

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Carlos Duque left the room before anybody could ask which.

Boardroom

88% of the income goes out in wages at Depor

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

Juan Diego Perdomo named in the team of the month

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of David Agudelo

“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.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Alejandro Oñate

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Tigres in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout

Favio Brizuela does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Squad

Alejandro Oñate 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 Depor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Juan David Viáfara was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

Depor see off Bogota

Three points for Depor, 1‑0 the final word against Bogota in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Gabriel Eraso

A mark of 7.83, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

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.” Carlos Duque, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jaider Cortes

“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.

The dugout

Yayo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Yayo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

No place for David Agudelo in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” David Agudelo has his answer from Depor; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Squad

Carlos Restrepo is off the mark for Depor

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad

José Palacios breaks a bone — 19 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 19 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom

Depor told to sell

The instruction came from the boardroom and the dugout did not agree with it. Somebody will go, the fee will be called good business, and the manager will spend the season rebuilding around the space.

Match

Universitario Popayan take the points off Depor

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

No hiding place for Juan Diego Perdomo

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

The dugout

Carlos Duque: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Juan Diego Jaramillo

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Juan Diego Jaramillo has come out of that comparison in the side, and Depor have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Squad

A row about effort at Depor

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Santiago Saavedra was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Looking ahead

Depor take on the side everybody is chasing

Bogota arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

Looking ahead

Juan David Viáfara faces his old club

Bogota next, and one man in the Depor dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
