From our football correspondent Steady

Match

Andorra through in the cup

A 2‑0 win over Eibar, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Minsu Kim at 20 — 7.85

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Minsu Kim did not need any: 7.85, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Álex Calvo

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

A falling-out at Andorra

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

Squad

Facundo Moreira arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Facundo Moreira has, at Andorra, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets

Andorra rebuffed over Nazareno Kihm

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ferro Carril Oeste have kept their man, and Andorra go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces

One of their own: Julian Rijkhoff

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

A bad afternoon for Andorra against Deportivo La Coruña

0‑1 to Deportivo La Coruña, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Juan Manuel Toloza at his very best

Marked 8.50. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Andorra.

In brief

  • Squad A row about effort at Andorra
  • The dugout No hiding place for Joel Sacks
  • The dugout The view from the dugout

The Danubio Chronicle

31 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Liverpool Montevideo take the points off Danubio

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

A falling-out at Danubio

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Maicol Ferreira

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Maicol Ferreira, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Felipe De Arrascaeta: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

Rodrigo Lugo dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Mateo Peralta

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

When it matters, Nicolás Azambuja plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Looking ahead

Hugo Silveira faces his old club

Cerro next, and one man in the Danubio dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Squad

Facundo Moreira: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Danubio will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.
