Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Sportivo Trinidense

Clementino González 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.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Oscar Giménez

“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.

Too much change too quickly at Sportivo Trinidense

9 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Faustino Barone has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Sportivo Trinidense will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

A door opens for Luis de la Cruz

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Pedro Zarza is not doing himself any favours

A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.

Faustino Barone sends Sportivo Trinidense through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Faustino Barone obliged against Nacional. 2‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Sportivo Trinidense.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Alan Cano, 21, steals the show — 7.99

Marked 7.99 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Sportivo Trinidense

Víctor Samudio and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Alan Morinigo

At 20 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.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

A satisfied Ramon Peralta

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑1, Ramon Peralta could afford to be generous.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Sportivo Trinidense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lucas González 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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Tomás Rayer beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 13. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Bruno Valdez left out for tactical reasons at Sportivo Trinidense

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Alan Morinigo gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Alan Morinigo is on it.
