Match

Fenix out of the cup

Central Espanol ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Fenix turn down Keflavik for Nahuel de Armas

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Only the photograph left for Diago Fernández

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Diago Fernández will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Fenix the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom

Fenix to lose Diago Fernández for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Diago Fernández has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Words exchanged at Fenix

Mauro Cachi 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

A row about effort at Fenix

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Esteban González was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Fenix cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Valentín Luciani

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

Sebastian Castro: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

In brief
