A brace, and Andrés Ayala takes the afternoon — 8.34
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Andrés Ayala provided it, and the 8.34 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

A falling-out at Cerro
Alejo Macelli and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

A row about effort at Cerro
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nicolás Guirin was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Rafael Gimenez steps up from the Cerro academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rafael Gimenez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Cerro promote Daniel Perez from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Perez 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.

Late, late show earns Cerro a point
Minute 92, against Cerrito, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

A promise honoured at Cerro
Something was said to Sebastián Medina and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Honours even between Cerro and Cerrito
2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
