Enzo Avaro was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

7 unbeaten for Mitre
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Mitre did not have in the autumn.

Tiago Ferreyra 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.
In brief
