A 2-goal lead gone for Juventud
It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Danubio kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Juventud will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Fernando Mimbacas scores twice — 8.95
Two goals and a mark of 8.95 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

David Morosini pops up at the right end — 7.75
7.75, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Facundo Pérez has agreed to leave Juventud for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Sebastián Sosa 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.
