Both of them Santiago Rosales's — 9.54
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.54, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Ignacio Pietrobono stands alone
7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

A move Gianluca Ruggi would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Gianluca Ruggi is living that version at Mitre, and it tends to show in the first month.

Words exchanged at Mitre
Rodrigo González and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Brian Mieres falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Ignacio Pietrobono gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Iván Ferrari steps up from the Mitre academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Iván Ferrari 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.

Mitre promote Julián Martínez from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Julián Martínez 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.
