From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

The cup run ends for Villa Dálmine

0‑1 against Racing Club, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

Facundo Garzino hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Villa Dálmine can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Eyes on Matías Aguirre again

The phone has started ringing about Matías Aguirre again, and this time the name on the line is Central Córdoba SdE. Villa Dálmine are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Valentín Carlucci

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

A row about effort at Villa Dálmine

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alexis Nievas was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings

Rodrigo Bogarín ran the middle of the pitch — 6.98

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 10 combined actions and a mark of 6.98, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Lauro Gamba

Marked 8.03 — 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Villa Dálmine

Ignacio Álvarez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Costly mistake from Cristopher Fiermarin

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Cristopher Fiermarin knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Player ratings

Rodrigo Bacidalupe, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.84

A mark of 7.84 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

The run at home goes on for Villa Dálmine

13 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad

Rodrigo Bogarín signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Rodrigo Bogarín and Villa Dálmine agree another 3 years.

Squad

Mateo Brustolín gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Mateo Brustolín has just signed for Villa Dálmine, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Tempers go at Villa Dálmine

Lauro Gamba 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.

The dugout

Cristian Broggi frozen out at Villa Dálmine

This is not rotation. Cristian Broggi has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Villa Dálmine is pretending otherwise.

Loan watch

Daniel Acosta counts the days

“I watch every Villa Dálmine game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Gimnasia y Esgrima runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match

Villa Dálmine find a way past Sportivo Italiano

Sportivo Italiano made Villa Dálmine work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

A row about effort at Villa Dálmine

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tomás Ponzo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
