A knee injury of the worst kind for Alejo Antilef
71 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. UAI Urquiza lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match5 Feb 2028
UAI Urquiza throw away a 2-goal lead
2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with San Martín de Burzaco the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that UAI Urquiza will enjoy reviewing.

Emanuel Ibáñez: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” UAI Urquiza have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Squad7 Feb 2028
113 days out for Mariano Klauss after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. UAI Urquiza will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Valentín Pesse beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 30. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Quimey Gaitán hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what UAI Urquiza can pretend not to have heard.

An order from above at UAI Urquiza: somebody has to go
Balance sheets do not care about form or about who the manager was planning to build around. The board have decided a sale is required, and the only question left is which name ends up carrying it.

Tempers go at UAI Urquiza
Alejo Antilef was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Boardroom7 Feb 2028
Graduation day at UAI Urquiza
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.
