Match

The wait goes on for Almagro

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Tempers go at Almagro

Gino Barbieri 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

Ferro Carril Oeste take the points off Almagro

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Emiliano González

“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

Franco Bustamante runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Camilo Torres makes his debut at 20

At 20 years old, Camilo Torres became the latest name off the academy production line to be handed a senior shirt.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Julián Vitale

A mark of 5.80 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Francisco Marco

Marked 5.79, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Squad

Tempers go at Almagro

Pablo Palacio 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.

Boardroom

Wages eat 170% of everything Almagro earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Match

Almagro come up short against Quilmes

Quilmes left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Nicolás Tolosa

“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

Nobody could get near Enzo Martínez

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

“I want to play”: Tomás Olivarez speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Player ratings

Oscar Belinetz leaves them behind him

Shots: 4. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Player ratings

Tiziano Dornell keeps on missing

Shots: 7, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Pablo Palacio

Marked 5.48, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.
