Both of them Nicolás Royón's — 8.80
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.80, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

A brace, and Adrián Vila takes the afternoon — 8.28
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Adrián Vila provided it, and the 8.28 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Lautaro Rinaldi says Rampla Juniors went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Vintage Alexander Rosso — 7.84
At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.84, and nobody on the pitch better.

Rampla Juniors get the job done against Artigas
A 4‑3 win over Artigas, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

7 goals as Rampla Juniors and Artigas go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Rampla Juniors and Artigas, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Graduation day at Rampla Juniors
3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
