Carlos Casabuena, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.79

Pío Bonacci sends Quilmes past Almagro
It finished 2‑0, and it was Pío Bonacci’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Quilmes.

Quilmes promote Mateo Vidal from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mateo Vidal has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
