A one-man rearguard from Brayan Cortés
There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

A falling-out at Argentinos Juniors
Alan Lescano and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match15 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Argentinos Juniors and Tigre in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Matías Giménez Rojas’s goal not enough for Argentinos Juniors
Matías Giménez Rojas scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑4 to Tigre, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

A row about effort at Argentinos Juniors
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Hernán López Muñoz was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Brayan Cortés 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.

Pablo Ríos answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 2‑4, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Federico Mancuello does not fit this one
Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.
Looking ahead17 Aug 2026
Francisco Álvarez faces his old club
Barracas Central next, and one man in the Argentinos Juniors dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
