Nobody could get near Fernando Chávez
Successful dribbles: 35. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Atenas win it in stoppage time
The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 94th minute. Tacuarembo will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Fernando Chávez 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 Atenas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Atenas supporters have found a favourite in Lucas Bassadone
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Lucas Bassadone 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.

Atenas see off Tacuarembo
Three points for Atenas, 1‑0 the final word against Tacuarembo in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Nobody at Atenas has picked up the phone to Lucas Medina
36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Lucas Bassadone takes the honours
Marked 7.81 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Atenas had the best player on the pitch.

Atenas sign Nicolas Silva, one for the future
Nicolas Silva is 16, and Atenas have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
In brief
- Market Atenas buy the years ahead of Jorge Olivera
- Market Atenas buy the years ahead of Lucas Rossi
- Squad Lucas Bassadone is off the mark for Atenas
