Match5 Feb 2028
Maipú run riot against San Martín
3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Aron Agüero puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Maipú, and it is not being withdrawn.
Player ratings7 Feb 2028
Both of them Diego Gaitán's — 8.46
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.46, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Match5 Feb 2028
At last: Maipú win one
10 matches without a win, and then this, against San Martín. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.
Transfer targets7 Feb 2028
Fee done, terms next for Franco Lopresti

Agustín Cañete turns down Maipú
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Banfield keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Words exchanged at Maipú
Aron Agüero and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Boardroom7 Feb 2028
Graduation day at Maipú
5 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.
The terraces7 Feb 2028
One of their own: Diego Gaitán
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
