The Cerro Porteno Courier
Match3 Feb 2029
Nobody wins at Cerro Porteno
19 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.
Market5 Feb 2029
Mateo Mendoza turns General Caballero JLM down
“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.
Player ratings5 Feb 2029
Tomás Chancalay scores twice — 8.69
Two goals and a mark of 8.69 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Amín Molinas has said yes to River Plate
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Cerro Porteno have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Sebastián Lentinelly asks to leave Cerro Porteno
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Match3 Feb 2029
Whatever happens, Cerro Porteno do not lose
8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Manuel Roffo 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 Cerro Porteno this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Graduation day at Cerro Porteno
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 manager makes an example of Manuel Roffo
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
