Both of them Agustín Ruberto's — 8.71
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.71, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Bruno Guimarães stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Bruno Guimarães and River Plate agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

River Plate say no — this time
The offer from Mallorca for Tobías Andrada was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Another one collected away from home
5 on the bounce on the road for River Plate. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Words at River Plate training over how hard people work

One of their own: Agustín Ruberto
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Maximiliano Salas beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Juan Martín Ríos steps up from the River Plate academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Juan Martín Ríos 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.
