Squad

8 saves: Luis Guillén was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match

No end in sight to River Plate's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at River Plate has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Enzo Ortiz signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Enzo Ortiz and River Plate agree another 3 years.

Squad

César Olmedo 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 River Plate this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Diego Ramos gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Diego Ramos has just signed for River Plate, and for once the answer mattered.

Match

Tacuary take the points off River Plate

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

Aldo González is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout

Derlis Sanabria answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

Jonathan Amarilla gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Derlis Cabañas puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at River Plate, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Estiven Pérez is carrying River Plate

21 goals and a season average of 7.24. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Player ratings

Alexander Quintana goes up and wins it — 7.60

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.60 for the rest of it.

Market

The Sportivo Trinidense deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Jonathan Amarilla reports back to River Plate with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Market

12 de Junio come back empty-handed

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

Match

4 matches without a win for River Plate

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around River Plate are no longer polite ones.

Market

Jonathan González is a River Plate player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad

Tempers go at River Plate

César Olmedo 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.

Transfer targets

Deadline beats River Plate to Marcos Castellano

The clock did what Sol de America would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.
