Gino Santilli 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.

Sergio Aguilera runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Bruno Veglio: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Banfield have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Banfield close the window on a squad of their own making
1 in and 1 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Marcos Escobar signs for Barracas Central while still at Banfield
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Marcos Escobar has agreed terms with Barracas Central for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Diego Rodríguez 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 Banfield this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Banfield training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ignacio Abraham is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Boardroom26 Jul 2027
Máximo Desábato will join Banfield for nothing
The paperwork is done long before the player is. Máximo Desábato has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Banfield have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.
In brief
- Match The goals have deserted Banfield
