33 days out for Rodolfo after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Central Espanol will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

A brace, and Facundo Borges takes the afternoon — 9.41
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Facundo Borges provided it, and the 9.41 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

No sign of nerves from Lucas Pino at 20 — 8.13
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Lucas Pino did not need any: 8.13, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.
