Player ratings

A brace, and Alexander González takes the afternoon — 8.98

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Alexander González provided it, and the 8.98 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Tempers go at Cerro

Nahuel Arena 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.

Squad

Franco Torres 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.

Match

Cerro get the job done against Albion

A 3‑1 win over Albion, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Cristian Barros in the eights

A performance of 8.11 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout

No hiding place for Nahuel Sena

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

Squad

6 new faces, and Cerro are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings

Nahuel Sena's mistake decides it

Ten men and a goalkeeper behind him, and it still finished in the net. He knew before anybody told him, and nobody at Cerro needed to.

The dugout

A satisfied Cristian Mendez

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 3‑1, Cristian Mendez could afford to be generous.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Ignacio Molina takes the match ball home

4 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match

Cerro bow out of the cup

Juventud go through and Cerro go home, 4‑4 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match

Alexander González drives the Cerro comeback

2 behind and going nowhere, until Alexander González decided otherwise. Central Espanol had done the hard part and then watched it come apart, and the noise at the final whistle was the sort a ground keeps.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Ignacio Molina at 20 — 9.80

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Ignacio Molina did not need any: 9.80, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings

A brace, and Alexander González takes the afternoon — 8.81

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Alexander González provided it, and the 8.81 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Otávio is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Otávio: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Player ratings

Franco Torres runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Nahuel Arena 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 Cerro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Tomás González gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Tomás González has just signed for Cerro, and for once the answer mattered.
