Match

No mercy from Nueva Chicago

Agropecuario Argentino will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Nueva Chicago were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

A brace, and Facundo Castro takes the afternoon — 9.12

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Facundo Castro provided it, and the 9.12 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

24 days out for Juan Manuel Rodríguez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Nueva Chicago will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings

Ian Silveira, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.19

A mark of 8.19 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Braian Toloza puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Nueva Chicago, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Alan Ruiz 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 Nueva Chicago this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Cadu arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Cadu has, at Nueva Chicago, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market

Nueva Chicago may not be able to give Bruno Palazzo what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Bruno Palazzo wants continental football; whether Nueva Chicago can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

The terraces

Nueva Chicago supporters have found a favourite in Ian Silveira

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Ian Silveira has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

In brief
