Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Maximiliano Brito

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

Match

The run at home goes on for La Luz

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

Squad

Nicolás Forastiero keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Facundo Sosa 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 La Luz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A move Junior Murillo would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Junior Murillo is living that version at La Luz, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match

La Luz see off Cerrito

Three points for La Luz, 1‑0 the final word against Cerrito in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Manuel Núñez

A mark of 7.61, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Market

A long bet from La Luz on Junior Murillo

He is 18, and nobody at La Luz signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Boardroom

La Luz counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at La Luz now.

In brief
