Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Paul Riveros

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

Squad

A fracture rules Thiago Franco out for 30 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sportivo Luqueno will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Tempers go at Sportivo Luqueno

Alfredo Aguilar 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.

Player ratings

Giovanni Bogado runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 49. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Paul Riveros damages knee ligaments — 136 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 136 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

The small margins put Sportivo Luqueno out

Out, 0‑0 to Guarani, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad

Alfredo Aguilar is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Alfredo Aguilar: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Squad

Alfredo Aguilar 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 Sportivo Luqueno this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Sportivo Luqueno training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Giovanni Bogado 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kevin Pereira

Successful dribbles: 44. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Sportivo Luqueno march on in the cup

General Diaz are out and Sportivo Luqueno go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Squad

Tempers go at Sportivo Luqueno

Alfredo Aguilar 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.

The terraces

Sportivo Luqueno supporters have found a favourite in Kevin Pereira

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

Alan Pereira was the difference for Sportivo Luqueno

Marked 7.66. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

When it matters, Alfredo Aguilar plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

Alexis Villalba wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Still no ink between Sportivo Luqueno and Oscar Ruiz

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