Match

Montevideo City Torque refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 42 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Market

AE Kition come back empty-handed

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

Market

Rodrigo Sena is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Montevideo City Torque is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Gastón 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 Montevideo City Torque this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Montevideo City Torque training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fernando Formoso 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.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Nicolás Pérez for 14 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Montevideo City Torque will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad

Franco Torgnascioli keeps Montevideo City Torque in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Diogo Guzmán 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 Montevideo City Torque can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Diogo Guzmán is the real thing at 21

A season average of 7.08 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Montevideo City Torque know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Player ratings

Pablo Siles shuts the door

Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Esteban Obregón

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

Squad

Tempers go at Montevideo City Torque

Gastón Rodríguez 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

A defender's afternoon for Bautista Kociubinski

Defensive actions: 20. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Montevideo City Torque lose Nicolás Pérez

20 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings

Gonzalo Montes was immovable

16 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Diogo Guzmán asks to leave Montevideo City Torque

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

Diogo Guzmán settles it late for Montevideo City Torque

The 89th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Diogo Guzmán decided nobody was going anywhere. Albion had no time left to answer.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Diogo Guzmán at 21 — 9.06

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Diogo Guzmán did not need any: 9.06, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Esteban Obregón

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Gastón Rodríguez yet — 7.81

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.81 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Diogo Guzmán is the real thing at 21

A season average of 7.02 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Montevideo City Torque know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad

Gastón 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 Montevideo City Torque this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Diogo Guzmán the difference as Montevideo City Torque beat Albion

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Diogo Guzmán. 2‑1 against Albion, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Montevideo City Torque count the cost of losing Nicolás Pérez

51 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
