No mercy from Racing
All Boys will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Racing were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Sebastián Ochoa breaks a bone — 125 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 125 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Pablo Chavarría takes the match ball home
3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Pablo Chavarría, 38, rolls back the years — 9.77
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 9.77 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Matías Machado beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

A row about effort at Racing
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ricardo Centurión was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Racing supporters have found a favourite in Fabrizio Ghiggia
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Fabrizio Ghiggia has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Andrés Varela steps up from the Racing academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Andrés Varela 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.
