Squad

106 days out for Flavio Scarone after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Basanez will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Facundo Folena 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.

Squad

Basanez are still strangers to each other

21 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

In brief

Back issues

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad

Flavio Scarone breaks a bone — 120 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 120 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Facundo Lemos

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

Lautaro Ferreira sends Basanez through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Lautaro Ferreira obliged against Bella Vista. 3‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Basanez.

Player ratings

Both of them Lautaro Ferreira's — 8.68

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.68, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Fabián Muñoz, 35, rolls back the years — 7.97

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.97 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

A falling-out at Basanez

Álvaro Fernández and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces

Basanez supporters have found a favourite in Alejandro Rivera

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 14-year-old it feels ownership of. Alejandro Rivera has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout

No hiding place for Gastón Díaz

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

Squad

Fabián Muñoz needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Basanez know which stage they are at.

In brief
