Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Andrés Samurio

27 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Tacuarembo lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Lucas Ramírez sends Tacuarembo through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Lucas Ramírez obliged against Deportivo Colonia. 1‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Tacuarembo.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Tacuarembo

A 0‑3 beating by Atenas was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match

Tacuarembo win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 98th minute. Deportivo Colonia will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Player ratings

Lucas Ramírez, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.00

A mark of 8.00 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Only the photograph left for Ezequiel Silveira

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ezequiel Silveira will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Tacuarembo the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Tacuarembo turn down Dalian Yingbo for Nicolás Mello

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

Boardroom

Tacuarembo to lose Ezequiel Silveira for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Ezequiel Silveira has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Tempers go at Tacuarembo

Mauro Estol 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.

In brief
