Match

Atlanta tear Los Andes apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑2 against Los Andes, and it could have been more.

Squad

A day Ignacio Rodríguez will not forget

4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings

Ignacio Rodríguez, 21, steals the show — 10.00

Marked 10.00 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.

Market

Leonel Galeano is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Atlanta is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Player ratings

Vintage Alejandro Quintana — 9.08

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 9.08, and nobody on the pitch better.

Player ratings

Federico Bisanz runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Nicolás Previtali pulls a muscle — 15 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 15 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Boardroom

Leonel Galeano signs for Estudiantes while still at Atlanta

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Leonel Galeano has agreed terms with Estudiantes for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Words exchanged at Atlanta

Leonel Galeano 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.

Squad

Leonel Galeano 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

Ferro Carril Oeste take the points off Atlanta

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Juan Francisco Rago

“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.

Market

Juan Gómez steps up from the Atlanta academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Juan Gómez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Andrés Álvarez steps up from the Atlanta academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Andrés Álvarez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Atlanta promote Enzo González from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Enzo González has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Valentín Fernández steps up from the Atlanta academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Valentín Fernández has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The dugout

Raúl Bruno: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

Leonel Galeano knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Atlanta, and both men came out saying it was fine.
