Squad

6 saves: Ramiro García was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Argentino de Quilmes promote Carlos Alberto Blanco from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Carlos Alberto Blanco has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
