Lucas Cascallares signs for Rampla Juniors while still at Atenas
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Lucas Cascallares has agreed terms with Rampla Juniors for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Lucas Cascallares is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Atenas is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Tempers go at Atenas
Facundo Briñón 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.

A bad afternoon for Atenas against Colon
0‑2 to Colon, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Facundo Briñón 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.

Atenas promote Alejandro Rivera from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Alejandro Rivera 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.

Lucas Hernandez steps up from the Atenas academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lucas Hernandez 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.

One of our own: Marcelo Pereira joins the Atenas first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Marcelo Pereira is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Federico Castro left the room before anybody could ask which.
In brief
- Player ratings Lucas Bassadone beats them one at a time
- The dugout Atenas pick somebody else ahead of Fernando Souza
- Looking ahead Lucas Medina faces his old club
