Both of them Máximo Alonso's — 9.23
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.23, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Fernando Camarda hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Central Espanol can pretend not to have heard.

No sign of nerves from Exequiel Mereles at 20 — 8.29
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Exequiel Mereles did not need any: 8.29, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Luciano Fernández runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Central Espanol to lose Mateo Urrutia for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Mateo Urrutia has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Mateo Urrutia is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Central Espanol is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Jonathan Dellarossa 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 Central Espanol this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Central Espanol get the job done against Rampla Juniors
A 4‑3 win over Rampla Juniors, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Máximo Alonso among the goals in a wild afternoon
7 goals in one match, Máximo Alonso on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Central Espanol and Rampla Juniors.
