No end in sight to Artigas's wait for a win
9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Artigas has to find a result from somewhere.

9 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Up for the corner, and Ramon Alvarez delivers — 7.64
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Ramon Alvarez scored, was marked 7.64, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Oscar Perez and Artigas agree another 2 years.

Nobody could get near Renato Silva
Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
