Match

Quilmes refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 43 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Player ratings

A brace, and José Barreto takes the afternoon — 8.13

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. José Barreto provided it, and the 8.13 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Words at Quilmes training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gonzalo Marinelli is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Quilmes get the job done against Arsenal

A 2‑0 win over Arsenal, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Getting past Gonzalo Marinelli has become the hardest job in the division

12 clean sheets and counting. Forwards used to back themselves here; now they shoot early, shoot wide, and look for somebody to blame.

Squad

Tiago Marghetich stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tiago Marghetich and Quilmes agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gonzalo Vega

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Santiago Arias 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 Quilmes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Agustín Bolívar shuts the door

Defensive actions: 15, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Market

Esteban Glellel is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Quilmes is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Santiago Arias asks to leave Quilmes

“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.

Player ratings

Both of them Gabriel Vázquez's — 7.89

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 7.89, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Quilmes may not be able to give Luciano Recalde what he wants

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

Match

7 unbeaten for Quilmes

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Quilmes did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Tempers go at Quilmes

Agustín Bolívar 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.

Match

Gabriel Vázquez among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Gabriel Vázquez on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Quilmes and Deportivo Riestra.

Match

Quilmes get the job done against Deportivo Riestra

A 4‑2 win over Deportivo Riestra, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Words at Quilmes training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luciano Recalde is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Esteban Glellel has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Quilmes they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market

Luca Proda puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Quilmes, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Darián Romero attracts admirers

The name of Darián Romero has come up in conversations Quilmes were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Tempers go at Quilmes

Agustín Bolívar 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

Thomas Ortega 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.

Squad

Daniel Russo out for 52 days

The medical room confirms 52 days on the sidelines for Daniel Russo, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.
