Squad

Tempers go at Defensores

Alejandro Medina 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 Defensores training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gonzalo Aquilino 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.

Squad

Diego Ojeda signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Diego Ojeda and Defensores agree another 3 years.

Player ratings

A brace, and Gonzalo Aquilino takes the afternoon — 8.45

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Gonzalo Aquilino provided it, and the 8.45 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Patricio Moyano wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Alejandro Medina 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 Defensores this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ezequiel Aguirre

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Gonzalo Aquilino 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

The manager makes an example of Ezequiel Aguirre

“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.

The Tigres Herald

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Nahuel Guzmán keeps Tigres in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Tigres

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.

Squad

Nahuel Guzmán 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 Tigres this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Jesús Angulo

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 23 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

Joaquim was immovable

23 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Player ratings

Rodrigo Aguirre runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Tigres find a way past Santos Laguna

Santos Laguna made Tigres work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for César Araújo

Defensive actions: 19. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Juan Pablo Vigon 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.
