Match17 Mar 2027
The cup run ends for Boston River
0‑1 against Plaza Colonia, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Tempers go at Boston River
Leandro Suhr 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.

Nobody could get near Yair González
Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Match20 Mar 2027
Boston River get the job done against River Plate
A 2‑0 win over River Plate, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Player ratings22 Mar 2027
The game went through Joaquín Di Caprio — 6.76
Marked 6.76 on 11 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Agustín Aguirre was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.12. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The manager makes an example of Iván Cartés
“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.

Words at Boston River training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jairo O'Neill is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Juan Ignacio González has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Boston River will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
