Match12 Aug 2026

Racing through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Platense, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match15 Aug 2026

A hiding for Racing

Beaten 0‑3 by Montevideo City Torque, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Match12 Aug 2026

Racing win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 106th minute. Platense will replay every second of the added time for a week.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The stands have turned

“Enough is enough. We have watched this for months.” 7 of the 34 senior players walked off to it, and the message was not aimed at any one of them.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Iván Manzur at 21 — 7.62

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Iván Manzur did not need any: 7.62, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Alexander Hernández pops up at the right end — 7.93

7.93, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Federico Varese in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Racing this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Racing supporters have found a favourite in Iván Manzur

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Iván Manzur has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Guillermo Cotugno

“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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Guillermo Cotugno signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Guillermo Cotugno commits to Racing for another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Racing

José Varela and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Axel Atum 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Racing and Bautista Tomatis

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Racing, another week without a signature from Bautista Tomatis.

Market3 Aug 2026

49 months and counting on Esteban da Silva

Still no offer on the table, and Esteban da Silva’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad3 Aug 2026

25 new faces, and Racing are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Match1 Aug 2026

Racing share the spoils with Nacional

A 1‑1 draw with Nacional leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Federico Varese knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Racing, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Kevin Bentancur on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Kevin Bentancur after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

In brief
