Match29 May 2027

Juan Cruz Giacone wins it after the whistle should have gone

90 minutes played. Juan Cruz Giacone found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Quilmes went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Market31 May 2027

Luciano Paredes asks to leave Maipú

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market31 May 2027

Only the photograph left for Nahuel Galardi

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nahuel Galardi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Maipú the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad31 May 2027

A falling-out at Maipú

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

Squad31 May 2027

A row about effort at Maipú

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Matías Viguet was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match29 May 2027

Juan Cruz Giacone the difference as Maipú beat Quilmes

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Juan Cruz Giacone. 1‑0 against Quilmes, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The dugout31 May 2027

Willy gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings31 May 2027

Juan Cruz Giacone in the eights

A performance of 8.06 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match31 May 2027

The half-term report on Maipú

Position 13, 18 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad3 May 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Juan Pablo Gobetto

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

Market3 May 2027

Matías Viguet puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Maipú, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match1 May 2027

The wait goes on for Maipú

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The dugout3 May 2027

Mirko Bonfigli says Maipú went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market3 May 2027

Only the photograph left for Nahuel Galardi

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nahuel Galardi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Maipú the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad3 May 2027

A falling-out at Maipú

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

Match1 May 2027

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Maipú and Patronato in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match1 May 2027

A bad afternoon for Maipú against Patronato

2‑4 to Patronato, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad3 May 2027

A row about effort at Maipú

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Matías Viguet was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad19 Apr 2027

The knee: Juan Pablo Gobetto out for 37 days

37 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Maipú lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market19 Apr 2027

Juan Pablo De la Reta hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Maipú can pretend not to have heard.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Maipú

Lisandro Cabrera and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Diego Gaitán 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.

Boardroom19 Apr 2027

Wages eat 111% of everything Maipú earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

Juan Pablo De la Reta takes the honours

Marked 7.38 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Maipú had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Somebody else is better right now than Willy

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Cristian Álvarez: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Maipú — 7.44

1 for Enzo Pérez, marked 7.44, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Match19 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Maipú

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Maipú are no longer polite ones.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Maipú

Fausto Montero 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Maipú training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enzo Pérez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Willy

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

Match19 Sep 2026

Maipú caught on 94 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Los Andes scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

A promise honoured for Luciano Arnijas

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Maipú told Luciano Arnijas something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Maipú pick somebody else ahead of Bruno Torres

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match19 Sep 2026

Honours even between Maipú and Los Andes

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A brace, and Lisandro Cabrera takes the afternoon — 9.23

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Lisandro Cabrera provided it, and the 9.23 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market10 Aug 2026

Joaquín Otero asks to leave Maipú

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

One of their own: Juan Cruz Giacone

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Julián Vera out for 29 days

The medical room confirms 29 days on the sidelines for Julián Vera, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market10 Aug 2026

Mateo Iglesias steps up from the Maipú academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mateo Iglesias 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Bruno Torres steps up from the Maipú academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bruno Torres 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.
