Player ratings

Both of them Favio Cabral's — 8.97

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.97, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Marcos Machado scores twice — 8.61

Two goals and a mark of 8.61 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

53 days out for Maximiliano Lafitte after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Mitre will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Tempers go at Mitre

Rodrigo González 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

Mitre find a way past Temperley

Temperley made Mitre work for it, but the scoreboard read 4‑3 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Match

Marcos Machado among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Marcos Machado on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Mitre and Temperley.

Squad

Juan Alessandroni 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.

The dugout

Gonzalo Valdivia gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

One of our own: Luis Alberto Ramírez joins the Mitre first team

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

In brief
