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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
