The Defensa y Justicia Post

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match26 Aug 2026

Defensa y Justicia march on in the cup

Chaco For Ever are out and Defensa y Justicia go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market31 Aug 2026

Defensa y Justicia say no — this time

The offer from Hapoel Haifa for Leandro Fernández 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Defensa y Justicia

Juan Manuel Gutiérrez 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.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Juan Manuel Gutiérrez

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Éver Banega 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.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Demián Domínguez

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match29 Aug 2026

Defensa y Justicia refuse to lose to Vélez

A point taken on 95 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Defensa y Justicia

15 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Domingo Blanco was the difference for Defensa y Justicia

Marked 7.73. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The Defensa y Justicia Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad17 Aug 2026

Matías Borgogno stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Juan Manuel Gutiérrez 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 Defensa y Justicia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market17 Aug 2026

Defensa y Justicia sell Facundo Quintana for $840.0K

Facundo Quintana has left for Athletic Bilbao in a $840.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A move Nicolás Guirin would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Nicolás Guirin is living that version at Defensa y Justicia, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match15 Aug 2026

Boca Juniors take the points off Defensa y Justicia

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Defensa y Justicia agree a free transfer for Santiago Torres

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Federico Cohen faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Federico Cohen after 1‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Santiago Sosa Yung 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No place for Sergio López in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Defensa y Justicia are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
