Matías Mansilla in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Alvarado this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Alvarado promote Luis Campos from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Luis Campos 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.

Alvarado come up short against All Boys
All Boys left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
