Marked for Francisco Silva

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Temperley up to position 3

23 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad

Francisco Silva keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Temperley may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match

Nobody wants to play Temperley right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Tempers go at Temperley

Fernando Brandán 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 ratings

A masterclass from Julián Carrasco

Marked 8.96 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Boardroom

Wages eat 146% of everything Temperley earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

No hiding place for Facundo Krüger

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

Match

The run at home goes on for Temperley

8 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Match

Temperley get the job done against Morón

A 1‑0 win over Morón, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Fernando Brandán breaks a bone — 29 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 29 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Lautaro Torres: 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.” Temperley have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

Whatever happens, Temperley do not lose

11 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Ezequiel Mastrolía signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ezequiel Mastrolía commits to Temperley for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Temperley

Fernando Brandán 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 ratings

Nobody could get near Julián Carrasco

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
