A falling-out at Central Norte

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

A row about effort at Central Norte

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

Cruel end for Defensores as Central Norte pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Central Norte scored in the 94th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Central Norte promote Cristian Ríos from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Cristian Ríos has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Emiliano Domínguez steps up from the Central Norte academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Emiliano Domínguez 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.

Central Norte find a way past Defensores

Defensores made Central Norte work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
