David Escalante damages knee ligaments — 116 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 116 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Felipe Senn scores twice — 8.47
Two goals and a mark of 8.47 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Tempers go at Acassuso
Joel Ghirardello 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.

Words at Acassuso training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Atamañuk 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.

The manager makes an example of Gabriel Atamañuk
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Acassuso rescue it on 87 minutes
Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 87. Deportivo Laferrere had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

This league is too small for Enzo Arreguín
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Acassuso will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Acassuso and Julio Villalba are talking past each other
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Honours even between Acassuso and Deportivo Laferrere
2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
In brief
- The dugout Enzo Pérez: “We have to be better”
- Looking ahead Gabriel Atamañuk faces his old club
- The dugout David de Stéfano left out for tactical reasons at Acassuso
