Sarmiento write off $800.1K on Alejandro Herrera
He arrived for a fee and leaves for a fraction of it. $800.1K of what Sarmiento paid for Alejandro Herrera is money the club will not see again, and the boardroom will be asked about it for two seasons.

Agustín Ávalos Molina scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Belgrano, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Door shut on Juan Pablo Freytes
Sarmiento asked and Cruzeiro said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Cristian Zabala is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Sarmiento has been clear about where Cristian Zabala stands, which is more than many ever get.

Jhon Renteria frozen out at Sarmiento
This is not rotation. Jhon Renteria has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Sarmiento is pretending otherwise.
