Brian González runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Geovani signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Geovani commits to Atenas for another 4 years.

48 months and counting on Lucas Arzamendia
Still no offer on the table, and Lucas Arzamendia’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Atenas sign Gonzalo Suarez, one for the future
Gonzalo Suarez is 14, 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.

Atenas buy the years ahead of Matias Castro
He is 16, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Atenas sign Emiliano Da Silva, one for the future
Emiliano Da Silva is 14, 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.

No goals between Atenas and Tacuarembo
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Tacuarembo will be the happier side with the point.
