Match

The small margins put Defensores out

Out, 1‑2 to San Martín SJ, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad

A fracture rules Lautaro Daus out for 98 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Defensores will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Patricio Moyano scores twice — 7.87

Two goals and a mark of 7.87 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Tempers go at Defensores

Alejandro Medina 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 ratings

Brian Gómez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Defensores see off Agropecuario Argentino

Three points for Defensores, 2‑1 the final word against Agropecuario Argentino in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Patricio Moyano

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.

Squad

Words at Defensores training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Monteagudo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Francisco Tcherkaski did the work nobody counts — 6.83

10 combined actions and 6.83. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Squad

A fracture rules Lautaro Daus out for 105 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Defensores will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Franco Sassone at 21 — 7.76

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Franco Sassone did not need any: 7.76, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Alejandro Medina 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 Defensores this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Juan Monteagudo 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.

Match

Defensores and Morón take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

Ezequiel Aguirre runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Defensores turn down Kashima Antlers for Jonathan Dellarossa

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

A day Jonathan Dellarossa will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Market

Maximiliano Jofre asks to leave Defensores

“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.

Market

Defensores may not be able to give Patricio Moyano what he wants

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

Squad

Alejandro Medina signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Alejandro Medina and Defensores agree another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Defensores

Alejandro Medina 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 ratings

One of those days for Jonathan Dellarossa

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.47, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Words at Defensores training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patricio Moyano is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Defensores get the job done against Gimnasia y Esgrima

A 3‑1 win over Gimnasia y Esgrima, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
