Squad

A fracture rules Ramiro Macagno out for 83 days

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

Match

Still nobody has beaten Independiente Rivadavia

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Boardroom

Jano Franco signs for Sportivo Italiano while still at Independiente Rivadavia

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Jano Franco has agreed terms with Sportivo Italiano for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Market

Jano Franco is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Independiente Rivadavia is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

A falling-out at Independiente Rivadavia

José Florentín and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Real improvement from Santiago Cena at Independiente Rivadavia

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Santiago Cena is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Maximiliano Salas

Marked 8.28 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Matías Fernández was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market

No place for Gonzalo Ríos in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Gonzalo Ríos has his answer from Independiente Rivadavia; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

The small margins put Independiente Rivadavia out

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

Player ratings

A brace, and Álex Arce takes the afternoon — 8.97

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Álex Arce provided it, and the 8.97 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Matías Fernández

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Independiente Rivadavia

Iván Villalba 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.

Squad

Words at Independiente Rivadavia training over how hard people work

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

Álex Arce sends Independiente Rivadavia past Rosario Central

It finished 2‑1, and it was Álex Arce’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Independiente Rivadavia.

The terraces

Independiente Rivadavia supporters have found a favourite in Enzo Rivamar

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Enzo Rivamar has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout

Sheyko Studer 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.

Player ratings

The kick that got away from Leonel Bucca

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Matías Fernández

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Iván Villalba 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 Independiente Rivadavia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Maximiliano Salas 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

Independiente Rivadavia find a way past Aldosivi

Aldosivi made Independiente Rivadavia work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Rodrigo Atencio

7.96, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Independiente Rivadavia had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout

A satisfied Benicio Muñoz

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Benicio Muñoz could afford to be generous.

Squad

Rodrigo Atencio is off the mark for Independiente Rivadavia

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

The dugout

Independiente Rivadavia pick somebody else ahead of Kevin Vázquez

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Looking ahead

Juan Manuel Elordi goes back to face Rosario Central

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Juan Manuel Elordi’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Independiente Rivadavia needing him to play as if none of it matters.
