Match

Banfield march on in the cup

Gimnasia y Tiro are out and Banfield go through, 2‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match

Tomás Adoryan wins it after the whistle should have gone

91 minutes played. Tomás Adoryan found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Belgrano went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Squad

A fracture rules Mateo Venancio out for 39 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Banfield will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

A brace, and Tomás Adoryan takes the afternoon — 8.21

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Tomás Adoryan provided it, and the 8.21 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Demian Rea, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.92

A mark of 7.92 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.

Market

Banfield say no — this time

The offer from MFK Michalovce for Tiziano Perrotta was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Match

Banfield make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Banfield have 4 straight wins of it.

Squad

Tempers go at Banfield

Bruno Sepúlveda 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

Tomás Adoryan sends Banfield past Belgrano

It finished 3‑2, and it was Tomás Adoryan’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Banfield.

Match

Cup progress for Banfield

A 1‑0 win over San Miguel, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad

Mateo Venancio breaks a bone — 47 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 47 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

A brace, and Bruno Sepúlveda takes the afternoon — 8.63

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Bruno Sepúlveda provided it, and the 8.63 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Bruno Sepúlveda 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.

Market

Arouca watching Federico Anselmo

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Banfield have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Words at Banfield training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Favio Álvarez 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.

Match

Bruno Sepúlveda sends Banfield past Huracán

It finished 3‑1, and it was Bruno Sepúlveda’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Banfield.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near David Zalazar

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The terraces

Banfield supporters have found a favourite in Federico Medina

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Federico Medina has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

In brief
