Match

Los Andes march on in the cup

Atlanta are out and Los Andes go through, 3‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match

A hiding for Los Andes

Beaten 0‑3 by Colegiales, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Player ratings

What a way to start for Juan Ruíz Díaz — 8.06

1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 8.06 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

Squad

Sebastián López stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Gabriel Cañete delivers — 7.59

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Gabriel Cañete scored, was marked 7.59, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad

Brian Leizza 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 Los Andes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Lucas Barrientos

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

One of our own: Agustín Romano joins the Los Andes first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Agustín Romano is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Raúl Muñoz joins the Los Andes first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Raúl Muñoz is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
