Match

Patronato out of the cup

Aldosivi ended it 0‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Inti Borghetto hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Patronato can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Freddy Rios

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 6 of the 25 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Tempers go at Patronato

Luciano Pacco 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.

Squad

Gaetano Motta 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Leandro Ilari

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Federico Bravo

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 13 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match

No goals between Patronato and Central Córdoba SdE

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Central Córdoba SdE will be the happier side with the point.

Market

Luciano Pacco asks to leave Patronato

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Patronato

Facundo Heredia 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.

Squad

Enzo Galli knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Enzo Galli trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

The shop window has Enzo Galli in it

Patronato have let the market know Enzo Galli can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market

Gabriel Díaz leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Gabriel Díaz leaves Patronato the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Valentín Weinzettel leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Valentín Weinzettel leaves Patronato the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
