Valentín Carboni, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 9.53
A mark of 9.53 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Matko Miljevic moves on
Hellas Verona pay $9.9M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Supporters turn on the $9.9M sale of Matko Miljevic
He is going to Hellas Verona, the club has $9.9M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Santiago Sosa 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 Racing Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Marco Di Cesare shuts the door
Defensive actions: 21, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

The crowd has taken to Valentín Carboni
At 21 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.

Racing Club find a way past Belgrano
Belgrano made Racing Club work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Ignacio Rodríguez shuts the door
Defensive actions: 18, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
