The Gimnasia y Tiro Sentinel
Squad14 Aug 2028
A day Felipe Karabulut will not forget
6 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

A fracture rules Juan Rocca out for 121 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Gimnasia y Tiro will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Gimnasia y Tiro run riot against Racing
6‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

No sign of nerves from Felipe Karabulut at 20 — 9.96
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Felipe Karabulut did not need any: 9.96, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Gimnasia y Tiro refuse to drop out of the race
Position 3, 48 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Juan Ignacio Capano was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 28. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Jeremias Vazquez keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Gimnasia y Tiro may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Match12 Aug 2028
Still nobody has beaten Gimnasia y Tiro
The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Tempers go at Gimnasia y Tiro
Manuel Guanini 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.
