Ezequiel Mastrolía stands alone

Benjamín Peralta steps up from the Temperley academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Benjamín Peralta has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
In brief
- Loan watch Lautaro Torres has seen enough of Operário Ferroviário
- Match Temperley and Estudiantes take a point apiece
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Franco Díaz
