The Fortaleza CEIF Herald
Match12 Aug 2026
The small margins put Fortaleza CEIF out
Out, 0‑1 to Deportes Tolima, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Richardson Rivas 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 Fortaleza CEIF this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Jerónimo Barrera ran the middle of the pitch — 6.85
He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 12 combined actions and a mark of 6.85, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Manuel Palacios answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Jhonier Salas runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A row about effort at Fortaleza CEIF
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Cristian Santander was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

No place in the plan for Sebastián Navarro
The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

The Williams Barlasina question follows Fortaleza CEIF around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Williams Barlasina’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Teun Wilke Braams keeps on missing
Shots: 7, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.
In brief
- Squad The room hears from Williams Barlasina
- The dugout Jhon Solís unhappy with how he is being used
- The dugout Santiago Cuero rested by Fortaleza CEIF
