A falling-out at Cerrito
Tiago Peñalba and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Cerrito find a way past La Luz
La Luz made Cerrito work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Cerrito lose Juan Castillo

Facundo Barreto was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.10. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

In brief
- The dugout Gaston Bentancur has his say
- The dugout Francisco Casanova has become a man the manager trusts
- The dugout No place in the plan for Tobías Quinteros
