Progreso to lose Agustín Requena for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Agustín Requena 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.

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Progreso is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

1‑3 to Cerro, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Daniel Nunez steps up from the Progreso academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Nunez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The game went through Agustín Pinheiro — 6.66
Marked 6.66 on 11 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.
In brief
- Squad 100 appearances for Agustín Pinheiro
- The dugout No hiding place for Matteo Copelotti
- Squad A row about effort at Progreso
