Nicolás González runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Eyes on Diego Méndez again
The phone has started ringing about Diego Méndez again, and this time the name on the line is Dnepr Mogilev. Tacuarembo are listening politely and promising nothing.

Leonardo Olavarría 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 Tacuarembo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Pablo López’s goal not enough for Tacuarembo
Pablo López scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Atenas, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Tacuarembo sign Martin Suarez, one for the future
Martin Suarez is 16, and Tacuarembo have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
