Match12 Aug 2026

Central Espanol bow out of the cup

Fenix go through and Central Espanol go home, 0‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

A cup hiding at Fenix leaves Central Espanol explaining themselves

0-3, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Market17 Aug 2026

Central Espanol say no — this time

The offer from Dugopolje for Emiliano Márquez was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Central Espanol

Jonathan Dellarossa 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Central Espanol lose Fernando Camarda

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

Sebastián Sánchez 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.

Facundo Sosa beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market17 Aug 2026

Ghazl El Mahalla watching Ignacio Gonella

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Central Espanol have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Raúl Tarragona 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.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

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.

Market10 Aug 2026

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.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

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.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

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.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

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.

Market10 Aug 2026

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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

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.

Match8 Aug 2026

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.

Match8 Aug 2026

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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Central Espanol run riot against Rentistas

5‑2, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Both of them Jonathan Dellarossa's — 9.95

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.95, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

No sign of nerves from Exequiel Mereles at 20 — 9.78

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Exequiel Mereles did not need any: 9.78, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Exequiel Mereles takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad3 Aug 2026

6 saves: Rodolfo was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Jonathan Dellarossa stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jonathan Dellarossa and Central Espanol agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Central Espanol

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

Match1 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Central Espanol and Rentistas in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

Central Espanol supporters have found a favourite in Exequiel Mereles

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Exequiel Mereles 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.
