Player ratings

Federico Bisanz runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Rodrigo Sosa hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Atlanta can pretend not to have heard.

Match

5 matches without a win for Atlanta

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Atlanta are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Christian Bernardi 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 Atlanta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Atlanta against Quilmes

2‑3 to Quilmes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Patricio Ostachuk

“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

A masterclass from Ignacio Rodríguez

Marked 8.48 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Boardroom

Atlanta counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Atlanta now.

Squad

Nicolás Previtali suspended

One booking too many, and Nicolás Previtali sits out. Atlanta lose him for the sort of avoidable reason that makes a manager's week longer.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Federico Bisanz

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Kevin Benítez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Atlanta can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Atlanta

Alejandro Quintana 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.

Player ratings

Martín García shuts the door

Defensive actions: 19, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

Dario Bordón in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

Player ratings

Tomás Rojas shuts the door

Defensive actions: 17, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

Lucas Ríos stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.56 on the card, and the Atlanta support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Training ground row involving Dario Bordón

Tempers went at Atlanta this week. Nothing a hard session and a quiet word cannot repair, though the story got out all the same.

Squad

Alejandro Quintana knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Alejandro Quintana trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
