Bautista Lombardi damages knee ligaments — 17 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 17 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Gastón Canuto stands alone
8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

A brace, and Mateo Díaz Chaves takes the afternoon — 8.49
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mateo Díaz Chaves provided it, and the 8.49 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The wait goes on for Chaco For Ever
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.

Leandro Ledesma says Chaco For Ever 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.

David Valdez 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 Chaco For Ever this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A bad afternoon for Chaco For Ever against San Martín SJ
2‑3 to San Martín SJ, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Brian Guerra 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.
