Squad

Agustín Olavarría stands alone

10 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.

Match

Lucas Suárez sends Colon through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Lucas Suárez obliged against Liverpool Montevideo. 2‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Colon.

Squad

Words exchanged at Colon

Leandro Méndez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces

One of their own: Ignacio Milans

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Andrés Olivera

“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.

Squad

Colon are still strangers to each other

19 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Alejandro Gimenez, on a 2‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Squad

Words at Colon training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Agustín de Armas 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 dugout

No place in the plan for Leandro Méndez

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Match

Nahuel Marzochi sends Colon through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Nahuel Marzochi obliged against Cerro. 2‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Colon.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Colon — 7.54

1 for Emiliano Vidart, marked 7.54, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

Tempers go at Colon

Leandro Méndez 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

Agustín Chopitea 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.

Squad

Colon lose Agustin Nunez

53 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Nahuel Marzochi

A mark of 7.95, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Alejandro Gimenez, on a 2‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Lucas Espinosa

“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.

Player ratings

Ignacio Milans beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
