Escuela Carlos Sarmiento Lora 1 - 1 CD Real Cartagena (Second Division 1st Phase)

Fifteen games into life with his new club and the jury still remains out on current manager joannes 3000's tenure at newly-promoted Carlos Sarmiento.
With no major transfer transactions of note and with a good, if unremarkable record in the league so far, 3000 appears to have made a steady if unspectacular start at Ingenio Sancarlos.
I'm a little disheartened that my overall efforts aren't being recognized. Our 7/4/4 record certainly isn't dominant but we have managed to notch those wins and draws against teams that are at least our equal, if not markedly better, in terms of talent.

CD Itagüà Ditaires 2 - 2 Escuela Carlos Sarmiento Lora (Second Division 1st Phase)
Escuela Carlos Sarmiento Lora will have been the happier of the sides after a 2 - 2 draw on a fine summer's afternoon at Metropolitano Ditaires.
Centre-back Jimmy Bermúdez gave Itagüà Ditaires the lead with a good header from just inside the six-yard box in the 31st minute. Young striker Ubel Herrera then equalised for Carlos Sarmiento in the 55th minute with a placed shot.
Young midfielder Jair Palacios then put the away side in front after 64 minutes with a freak goal. Itagüà Ditaires also saw their 90th minute strike questionably chalked off. Itagüà Ditaires' equaliser came through Anderson Zapata as he seized on Jair Palacios' mistake to score a close range header.
Better late than never for Itagüà Ditaires and the fans were clearly delighted with Zapata's impact.
