Digenis Morfou come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Godoy Cruz did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Tempers go at Godoy Cruz
Lucas Arce 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.

A 1‑0 win over Talleres, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Nahuel Ulariaga was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.04. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Martín Pino gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
