Match

Depor bow out of the cup

Deportivo Cali go through and Depor go home, 0‑0 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Juan Diego Jaramillo

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Fabián Villa

Defensive actions: 26. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

A defender's afternoon for Stiwar Veira

Defensive actions: 26. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Tempers go at Depor

Santiago Saavedra 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.

A defender's afternoon for Jhonier Julio

Defensive actions: 19. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Jhonier Alomía 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 Depor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Santiago Saavedra signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Santiago Saavedra and Depor agree another 4 years.

Squad

No hiding place for Juan Diego Perdomo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Juan Diego Perdomo, and the manager let it.

Market

Eder Balanta asks to leave Depor

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Jhonier Alomía signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jhonier Alomía commits to Depor for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Depor

Jhonier Alomía 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.

Market

Nobody at Depor has picked up the phone to Jhonier Alomía

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market

Talks stall between Depor and Juan Diego Perdomo

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Eder Balanta asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
