The Progreso Post
Match19 May 2027
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Squad24 May 2027
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.
Match22 May 2027
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.
In brief
- Squad A row about effort at Progreso
- The terraces The crowd has taken to Nahuel López
- Squad Agustín Paz makes it 100
