Squad

Iván Ramírez breaks a bone — 131 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 131 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom

Mateo Reynoso signs for Excursionistas while still at San Miguel

Player ratings

Lucas Brochero runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief
