Jorge Cabezas Hurtado lights up a European night for Deportes Tolima
1‑0 against Internacional, and a performance that will be described to people who were not there for the rest of the season. Jorge Cabezas Hurtado was at the centre of the description.

A brace, and Edwar López takes the afternoon — 7.98
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Edwar López provided it, and the 7.98 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Nobody could get near Adrián Parra
Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Deportes Tolima
Anderson Angulo 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.

Nobody wins at Deportes Tolima
10 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

The crowd has taken to Jorge Cabezas Hurtado

The manager makes an example of Neto Volpi
“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.

Too much change too quickly at Deportes Tolima
11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
