Nobody made more than Santiago Segovia this month
3 assists, 7.84, and a Nacional player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Wanderers they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
