Player ratings

Nothing got past Sergi Oriol

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 50 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match

Cup progress for Wanderers

A 1‑0 win over Juventud, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match

Wanderers let it slip despite Joaquín Zeballos

Joaquín Zeballos had done his part in building a 4-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Boston River were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Squad

A day Joaquín Zeballos will not forget

3 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.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Agustín Buffa

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Esteban Crucci, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.45

A mark of 8.45 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Tempers go at Wanderers

Jonathan Urretaviscaya 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.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Wanderers

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

José Alberti falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

In brief
