The Progreso Post

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Progreso march on in the cup

Fenix are out and Progreso go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match

Cruel end for Fenix as Progreso pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Progreso scored in the 120th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings

José Vanetta scores twice — 8.55

Two goals and a mark of 8.55 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Both of them Agustín Ocampo's — 8.18

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.18, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Agustín Paz beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 29. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings

Nahuel López, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.95

A mark of 7.95 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.

The dugout

Ignacio Lemmo says Progreso 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Progreso

Agustín Ocampo 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

Whatever happens, Progreso do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

The Progreso Post

22 Mar 2027
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

The knee: Agustín Lema out for 36 days

36 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Progreso lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

Juan Sebastián Rivero sends Progreso through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Juan Sebastián Rivero obliged against Tacuarembo. 1‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Progreso.

Player ratings

Nahuel López runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Marco Saravia 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 Progreso this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Emiliano Álvarez 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Progreso against Boston River

1‑2 to Boston River, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Randall Rodríguez

“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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Juan Sebastián Rivero

Marked 8.29 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

No time for Boston River to settle

The goal that put Boston River ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Progreso equalised, 1 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.
