Match19 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Aguilas Doradas

A 3‑0 win over Deportivo Cali, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad24 Aug 2026

3 goals for Andrés Carreño

The match ball belongs to Andrés Carreño, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Javier Mena, 21, steals the show — 7.63

Marked 7.63 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market24 Aug 2026

Iván Rojas wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Aguilas Doradas

Jorge Soto 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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Andrés Carreño was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.58. 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Iván Rojas falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Andrés Carreño

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match22 Aug 2026

Aguilas Doradas come up short against La Equidad

La Equidad left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Match12 Aug 2026

Aguilas Doradas march on in the cup

Envigado are out and Aguilas Doradas go through, 2‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Róyner Benítez at 21 — 8.03

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Róyner Benítez did not need any: 8.03, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Fabián Suárez Chalares

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Jorge Soto 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 Aguilas Doradas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Aguilas Doradas

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

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Fabián Suárez Chalares

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match15 Aug 2026

Late, late show earns Aguilas Doradas a point

Minute 90, against Jaguares, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The form table has caught Cristian Arroyave

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Match15 Aug 2026

Ricardo Márquez rescues a point for Aguilas Doradas

It needed Ricardo Márquez to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Jaguares, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Serpeta was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 31. 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.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Javier Mena, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.03

A mark of 8.03 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Aguilas Doradas — 7.78

1 for Frank Lozano, marked 7.78, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Aguilas Doradas

Jorge Soto and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Javier Mena

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Leonardo Diaz joins the Aguilas Doradas first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Leonardo Diaz is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Aguilas Doradas promote Daniel Barrios from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Barrios has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Ivan Rios joins the Aguilas Doradas first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ivan Rios is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Róyner Benítez, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.92

A mark of 7.92 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Jorge Soto stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jorge Soto and Aguilas Doradas agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Aguilas Doradas

Jorge Soto and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match1 Aug 2026

Aguilas Doradas find a way past Deportivo Cali

Deportivo Cali made Aguilas Doradas work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market3 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Aguilas Doradas and Jorge Soto

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Aguilas Doradas, another week without a signature from Jorge Soto.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Aguilas Doradas are still strangers to each other

10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.
