Match5 Dec 2026

Rocha are at home on the road

6 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Rocha lose Mathías Callero

15 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad7 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Rocha

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

Match5 Dec 2026

Rocha see off Bella Italia

Three points for Rocha, 3‑1 the final word against Bella Italia in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Words at Rocha training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Robledo 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.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Potencia tell Rocha: Thiago Paredez is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Matías Aguirregaray

“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.

Match1 Dec 2026

A bad afternoon for Rocha against Bella Vista

0‑1 to Bella Vista, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

A masterclass from Maximiliano Viquez

Marked 8.02 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Gabriel Robledo, 33, rolls back the years — 8.36

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.36 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Georgy Rykov keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Rocha may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match21 Nov 2026

Another one collected away from home

5 on the bounce on the road for Rocha. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Match21 Nov 2026

Nobody wants to play Rocha right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Maicol Rodríguez beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Rocha

Gabriel Robledo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match21 Nov 2026

Gabriel Robledo sends Rocha past Sud America

It finished 1‑0, and it was Gabriel Robledo’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Rocha.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Bruno Vera

“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.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Leonardo Cabrera kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Match24 Oct 2026

Rocha leave it late against Durazno

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 88th, and Durazno spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Maicol Rodríguez 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.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Rocha

Maicol Rodríguez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match24 Oct 2026

Whatever happens, Rocha do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Gabriel Robledo 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.

Match24 Oct 2026

Another one collected away from home

3 on the bounce on the road for Rocha. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Match24 Oct 2026

Rocha find a way past Durazno

Durazno made Rocha work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Bruno Vera

“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.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Agustín Acosta takes the honours

Marked 7.83 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Rocha had the best player on the pitch.

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

Market7 Sep 2026

Talks stall between Rocha and Joel Pereira

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Looking ahead7 Sep 2026

Maximiliano Viquez goes back to face Deutscher FK

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Maximiliano Viquez’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Rocha needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Market7 Sep 2026

Diego Bonilla linked with a move away

The name of Diego Bonilla keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Rocha say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Joel Pereira has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Joel Pereira has written the date down.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The armband goes to Mathías Callero

A strip of cloth that decides nothing on the pitch and tells the dressing room whose opinion counts. The manager has made a statement without making one.

Market7 Sep 2026

Alvaro Cabrera leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Alvaro Cabrera leaves Rocha the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market7 Sep 2026

Rodrigo Alvarez leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Rodrigo Alvarez leaves Rocha the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
