Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jean Martínez

Successful dribbles: 41. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ramiro Méndez decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

Rentistas march on in the cup

Plaza Colonia are out and Rentistas go through, 0‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings

The kick that got away from Franco Cabrera

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Squad

Michel Silveira 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 Rentistas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Rentistas pick somebody else ahead of Carlos Techera

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Squad

Ramiro Méndez is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Ramiro Méndez: 3 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Fabricio Roldán sends Rentistas through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Fabricio Roldán obliged against Cerro. 1‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Rentistas.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jean Martínez

Successful dribbles: 34. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Fabricio Roldán at 21 — 7.93

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Fabricio Roldán did not need any: 7.93, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Nicolás Pintado 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 Rentistas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

Rentistas supporters have found a favourite in Fabricio Roldán

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Fabricio Roldán 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.

Market

The unthinkable, invoiced: Douglas Jardel sold

Paralimni arrived with $600.0K and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

Player ratings

Jean Martínez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 36. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Rentistas through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Deportivo Maldonado, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

Sebastián Gularte wins it after the whistle should have gone

98 minutes played. Sebastián Gularte found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Deportivo Maldonado went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

The terraces

Rentistas sell a favourite for $600.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Douglas Jardel was one of the reasons people came, and $600.0K does not replace that by itself.

Squad

Tempers go at Rentistas

Nicolás Pintado 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.

Player ratings

Sebastián Gularte takes the honours

Marked 7.50 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Rentistas had the best player on the pitch.

Squad

Ramiro Méndez knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ramiro Méndez trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Sebastián Gularte is off the mark for Rentistas

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Market

Bnei Sakhnin come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Rentistas did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Eyes on Luciano Inverso again

The phone has started ringing about Luciano Inverso again, and this time the name on the line is Sporting CP. Rentistas are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Luciano Inverso signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luciano Inverso and Rentistas agree another 5 years.

Squad

Nicolás Pintado 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 Rentistas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Rentistas find a way past Central Espanol

Central Espanol made Rentistas work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market

The clock runs on Douglas Jardel's contract

36 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings

Nicolás Mallet takes the honours

Marked 7.60 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Rentistas had the best player on the pitch.
