Tempers go at Agropecuario Argentino
Mauricio Alaniz 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.

Leandro Zeballos was immovable
17 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Mauricio Alaniz is a square peg at Agropecuario Argentino
The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The view from the dugout
“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Miguel Quiroga chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

The manager makes an example of Thiago Santi
“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.

Agropecuario Argentino bring in an old head
Mauricio Alaniz is 35 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

- The dugout Agropecuario Argentino keep their word to Sergio Moretti
