Scoring charts

Nobody scored more than Maximiliano Silvera

The month closes with Maximiliano Silvera out in front — 1 goals in 1 games, and Nacional have the division's most feared finisher.

Market

Hugo Silveira hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Racing can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Defensor Sporting say no — this time

The offer from Feyenoord for Mauricio Amaro was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Scoring charts

Maximiliano Silvera leads the division for assists — 8.71

The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 1 of them made by a Nacional player marked 8.71, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Market

Wanderers may not be able to give Nahuel Furtado what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Nahuel Furtado wants continental football; whether Wanderers can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Scoring charts

Nahuel Herrera keeps the pressure on

1 goals in 1 appearances for Penarol leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Scoring charts

Luciano Cosentino makes the list

1 appearances, 1 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

Diogo Guzmán is right behind him

1 goals in 1 appearances for Montevideo City Torque, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Scoring charts

José Vanetta makes the list

1 appearances, 1 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

1 made by Jonathan Urretaviscaya — 8.52

Further down the providers' column, where the Wanderers man sits on 8.52 and a month of passes that were harder than the finishes they became.

Scoring charts

Valentín Amoroso: 1 assists this month — 8.39

Next on a chart nobody frames. 8.39 for a Plaza Colonia player whose month is measured in other people's goals.

Market

Still no ink between Penarol and Javier Cabrera

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

Scoring charts

Luciano Cosentino tops the scoring charts

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 4 goals in 5 appearances for Wanderers.

Scoring charts

The month belonged to Luciano Cosentino

Marked 8.66 across it, 7 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Wanderers have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

Scoring charts

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Defensor Sporting

Mauricio Amaro was marked 8.09 and had a hand in 5 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

Market

Fabrizio Correa puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Cerro, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Cerro say no — this time

The offer from CSKA 1948 for Fabrizio Correa was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Scoring charts

Nobody made more than Kevin Dawson this month

4 assists, 7.42, and a Defensor Sporting 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.

Market

So close: Nicolás Sosa’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. HJK moved on, Nicolás Sosa reports back to Racing, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Market

Feyenoord watching Mauricio Amaro

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Defensor Sporting have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Scoring charts

Highest marks in the league belong to a Wanderers man

Luciano Cosentino averaged 8.66 over 5 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.

Scoring charts

Jonathan Urretaviscaya makes the list

5 appearances, 2 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

Joaquín Zeballos makes the list

5 appearances, 3 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

Nicolás Fernández keeps the pressure on

3 goals in 5 appearances for Progreso leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Market

Eduardo Darias raises the bar for Penarol

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Penarol heard it as anything else.

Market

Maximiliano Gómez 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.

Market

Mauro Goicoechea told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Mauro Goicoechea has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Danubio.
