Player ratings12 Apr 2027
Maximiliano Rogoski goes up and wins it — 7.36
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.36 for the rest of it.

A falling-out at Ferrocarril Midland
Aron Agüero and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Ferrocarril Midland promote Benjamín Russo from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Benjamín Russo 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.

One of our own: Pichi joins the Ferrocarril Midland first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Pichi is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Nobody left the Ferrocarril Midland dressing room in a hurry
