Match

Central Norte bow out of the cup

River Plate go through and Central Norte go home, 1‑7 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

The terraces

Central Norte are taken apart by River Plate — and the town wants answers

It finished 1-7. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Fabricio Hass

There were 6 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.

Market

Erik Bodencer 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.

Squad

Agustín Lamosa 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 Central Norte this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Enzo Abondetto among the goals in a wild afternoon

8 goals in one match, Enzo Abondetto on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Central Norte and River Plate.

Match

A bad afternoon for Central Norte against Mitre

2‑3 to Mitre, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at Central Norte training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Maximiliano Ribero 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

Nobody could get near Paolo Dorini

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

In brief
