Match

No mercy from Dock Sud

Güemes will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Dock Sud were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad

Facundo Moretti breaks a bone — 34 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 34 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Cristian has said yes to Gimnasia y Esgrima

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Dock Sud have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Player ratings

Jorge Armoa scores twice — 8.18

Two goals and a mark of 8.18 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match

The run at home goes on for Dock Sud

13 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Market

Jonás Rodríguez 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 Dock Sud can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Facundo Avella goes up and wins it — 7.74

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.74 for the rest of it.

Player ratings

A goal and an assist for Axel Méndez — 7.97

Involvement in 3 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.97 beside his name.

Match

Whatever happens, Dock Sud do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Facundo Moretti breaks a bone — 41 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 41 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Franco Marichal has said yes to Central Norte

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Dock Sud have lost him in all but the paperwork.

12 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 0 in, 0 out at Dock Sud

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 0 arrived, 0 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market

Dock Sud may not be able to give Danilo Monza what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Danilo Monza wants continental football; whether Dock Sud can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Dock Sud

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

Tempers go at Dock Sud

Jorge Armoa 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

Román Pérez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
