5 matches without a win for Barracas Central

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

Market2 Oct 2028

Matías Pérez Acuña is on his way

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

Squad2 Oct 2028

Jhonatan Candia signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jhonatan Candia commits to Barracas Central for another 2 years.

Barracas Central come up short against Independiente Rivadavia

Independiente Rivadavia left with the points after a 1-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad2 Oct 2028

Kevin Jappert is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.28 with 9 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Tomás Lavezzi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market31 Jul 2028

Barracas Central turn down Independiente Rivadavia for Ezequiel Santa Cruz

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

Market31 Jul 2028

Yonghyun Park has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Barracas Central they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match29 Jul 2028

Barracas Central get the job done against Banfield

A 2-1 win over Banfield, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad31 Jul 2028

Barracas Central lose Alejandro Hermes

43 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad31 Jul 2028

Tomás Lavezzi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market31 Jul 2028

Chacarita Juniors expected to open talks for Lucas Villagra

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Barracas Central will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad31 Jul 2028

Jhonatan Candia unhappy with how he is being used

Asked to play a role that is not his, or taken off before the hour once too often — Jhonatan Candia has let it be known that he does not like the way Barracas Central are using him. Managers hear this long before the press does.

Squad31 Jul 2028

David Ojeda asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market31 Jul 2028

Still no signature from Dardo Miloc

2 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Barracas Central could get for him.

Market5 Jun 2028

David Ojeda asks to leave Barracas Central

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Tomás Lavezzi says Barracas Central went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Matías Pérez Acuña is on his way

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

Alejandro Hermes out for 104 days

The medical room confirms 104 days on the sidelines for Alejandro Hermes, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market5 Jun 2028

Joshua Carabajal attracts admirers

The name of Joshua Carabajal has come up in conversations Barracas Central were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad5 Jun 2028

The manager makes an example of Ezequiel Santa Cruz

“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.

A 1-0 win over Belgrano, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

San Jose Earthquakes are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Barracas Central will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad10 Apr 2028

Manuel Duarte is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.21 with 6 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match15 May 2027

11 unbeaten for Barracas Central

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 11 matches without defeat is a foundation Barracas Central did not have in the autumn.

Market17 May 2027

Nicolás Capraro 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 Barracas Central can pretend not to have heard.

Barracas Central find a way past Rosario Central

Rosario Central made Barracas Central work for it, but the scoreboard read 3-2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Match9 Dec 2026

Barracas Central bow out of the cup

Ferro Carril Oeste go through and Barracas Central go home, 1-1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Iván Tapia says Barracas Central went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Juan Espínola is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Juan Espínola: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Tomás Lavezzi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tomás Lavezzi and Barracas Central agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The terraces14 Dec 2026

Everybody has an opinion about Juan Espínola

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Market14 Dec 2026

Carlos Arce is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Barracas Central has been clear about where Carlos Arce stands, which is more than many ever get.
