Match

Gimnasia y Esgrima through in the cup

A 3‑2 win over Unión de Santa Fe, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

Both of them Manuel Severich's — 9.06

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.06, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Maximiliano Casa scores twice — 8.90

Two goals and a mark of 8.90 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Nicolás Quispe hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Gimnasia y Esgrima can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Gimnasia y Esgrima leaking at the back

5 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Squad

Words exchanged at Gimnasia y Esgrima

Nicolás Dematei and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces

One of their own: Massimo Saliszewski

He is 18 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.

Squad

Maximiliano Casa reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Player ratings

Nahuel Denis was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

In brief

Player ratings

Hugo Soria, 36, rolls back the years — 7.81

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.81 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market

Eyes on Octavio Bianchi again

The phone has started ringing about Octavio Bianchi again, and this time the name on the line is Hapoel Haifa. Gimnasia y Esgrima are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Nicolás Dematei 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 Gimnasia y Esgrima this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Hugo Soria’s goal not enough for Gimnasia y Esgrima

Hugo Soria scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to San Martín SJ, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

Milton Álvarez 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.

The dugout

Mateo Peralta faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Mateo Peralta after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Player ratings

Claudio Pombo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Gonzalo Villarreal falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

A first senior shirt for Massimo Saliszewski

Every debut is a small story about the future: Massimo Saliszewski, 18 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.
