Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Nahuel Furtado

58 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Wanderers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Jonás Luna, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.45

A mark of 8.45 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

Wanderers make it 5 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Wanderers have 5 straight wins of it.

Player ratings

Luciano Cosentino runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Agustín Buffa 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 Wanderers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Wanderers keep winning on the road

4 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Squad

José Alberti 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Joaquín Zeballos

“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.

Match

Jonás Luna sends Wanderers past Juventud

It finished 1‑0, and it was Jonás Luna’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Wanderers.

Match

Wanderers through in the cup

A 3‑1 win over Rampla Juniors, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

A brace, and Esteban Crucci takes the afternoon — 8.59

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Esteban Crucci provided it, and the 8.59 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Rodrigo Novo, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.39

A mark of 8.39 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Tempers go at Wanderers

Jonathan Urretaviscaya 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.

Squad

José Alberti 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.

Match

Luciano Cosentino the difference as Wanderers beat Boston River

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Luciano Cosentino. 2‑1 against Boston River, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces

Wanderers supporters have found a favourite in José Río

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. José Río 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.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Luciano Cosentino at his very best

Marked 8.62. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Wanderers.

Match

No time for Boston River to settle

The goal that put Boston River ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Wanderers equalised, 4 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Match

Felipe Serrés sends Wanderers through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Felipe Serrés obliged against Uruguay Montevideo. 2‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Wanderers.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 8 of the 33 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Jonás Luna at 21 — 8.37

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Jonás Luna did not need any: 8.37, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings

A first appearance Esteban Crucci will want to forget — 5.65

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.65, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Squad

Tempers go at Wanderers

José Alberti 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.

Match

Jonás Luna’s goal not enough for Wanderers

Jonás Luna scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Montevideo City Torque, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The terraces

Wanderers supporters have found a favourite in Jonás Luna

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Jonás Luna 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.

Player ratings

Santiago Benítez was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.75. 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.

Squad

Agustín Buffa 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.
