No sign of nerves from Andrés Dávila at 19 — 8.38
The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Andrés Dávila did not need any: 8.38, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Enzo Larrosa has agreed to leave Independiente Medellin for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Hayen Palacios was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 21. 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.

Bryan Castrillón was on a different afternoon to everybody else
9.67. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Independiente Medellin agree a free transfer for Santiago Roa
Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Independiente Medellin supporters have found a favourite in Andrés Dávila
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Andrés Dávila has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
