Player ratings

Gastón Moreyra runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 43. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Leonardo Jara 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 Almirante Brown this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Almirante Brown

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.

Words at Almirante Brown training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Facundo Quignón 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.

Agustín Quiroga steps up from the Almirante Brown academy

Match

Almirante Brown find a way past Central Norte

Central Norte made Almirante Brown work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

In brief
