So close: Ivo Costantino’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Boston River moved on, Ivo Costantino reports back to Danubio, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Market26 Jul 2027

OB come back empty-handed

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

Squad26 Jul 2027

A one-man rearguard from Mauro Goicoechea

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad26 Jul 2027

David Alfaro: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Danubio have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad26 Jul 2027

At 21, Mateo Peralta is already the best thing here

An average of 7.38 in a first team he is several years too young for. Danubio have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Tempers go at Danubio

Denis Bouanga 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 ratings26 Jul 2027

Denis Bouanga in the eights

A performance of 8.96 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market26 Jul 2027

Colon join the queue for Kevin Martínez

Add another name to the list: Colon have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Kevin Martínez. The answer from Danubio has not changed — yet.

Market26 Jul 2027

Estudiantes de Caracas are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Danubio will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Player ratings7 Jun 2027

Nobody could get near Mateo Peralta

Successful dribbles: 39. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Danubio count the cost of losing Denis Bouanga

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

Market7 Jun 2027

Mateo Rivero is a Danubio player

The fee is $740.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Boston River drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Denis Bouanga 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 Danubio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market7 Jun 2027

Danubio get their man

The chase for David Alfaro ended with $260.0K changing hands and Racing out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Market7 Jun 2027

Eyes on Nicolás Azambuja again

The phone has started ringing about Nicolás Azambuja again, and this time the name on the line is Alianza Lima. Danubio are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings7 Jun 2027

A defender's afternoon for Iván Rossi

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

Squad7 Jun 2027

Mateo Peralta named player of the month

The award goes to Mateo Peralta, and nobody around here is inclined to argue with the choice.

Player ratings7 Jun 2027

The afternoon belonged to Mateo Rinaldi

A mark of 7.93, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Market7 Jun 2027

Racing turn down Cerro Largo for Nicolás Sosa

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings7 Jun 2027

Esteban da Silva runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Racing

José Varela 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.

Market7 Jun 2027

David Alfaro moves on

Danubio pay $260.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Match5 Jun 2027

Racing come up short against Progreso

Progreso left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad7 Jun 2027

The manager makes an example of Guillermo Cotugno

“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.

Market7 Jun 2027

Plaza Colonia watching Felipe Cairus

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

Squad7 Jun 2027

Thiago Fernández stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Thiago Fernández and Racing agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Esteban da Silva is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.28 with 4 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match17 Mar 2027

Cup progress for Racing

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

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Nothing got past David Alfaro

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 34 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Nothing got past José Varela

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 27 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Market22 Mar 2027

Felipe Cairus asks to leave Racing

“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.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Juan Bosca shuts the door

Defensive actions: 23, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Racing

Axel Atum 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 ratings22 Mar 2027

One of those days for Bautista Tomatis

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.18, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad22 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Nicolás Sosa

“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.

Match20 Mar 2027

Bautista Tomatis sends Racing past Boston River

It finished 1‑0, and it was Bautista Tomatis’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Racing.
