From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match22 Aug 2026

Gianluca Pugliese wins it after the whistle should have gone

95 minutes played. Gianluca Pugliese found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Tristán Suárez went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Güemes

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

Gianluca Pugliese 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Gianluca Pugliese sends Güemes past Tristán Suárez

It finished 2‑1, and it was Gianluca Pugliese’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Güemes.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Santiago Sala in the eights

A performance of 8.74 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Juan Sánchez Sotelo 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 ratings24 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Gianluca Pugliese at his very best

Marked 8.49. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Güemes.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

A satisfied Franco Vázquez

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑1, Franco Vázquez could afford to be generous.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Player of the week: Santiago Sala

Somebody watched every match in the division at the weekend and decided he was the best thing in any of them. A small honour, and most careers end without one.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad3 Aug 2026

Fernando Godoy signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Fernando Godoy commits to Güemes for another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Güemes

Fernando Godoy 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Güemes

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Gianluca Pugliese was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match1 Aug 2026

Güemes come up short against Gimnasia y Tiro

Gimnasia y Tiro left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Fernando Godoy

“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.

Market3 Aug 2026

49 months and counting on Facundo Melillán

Still no offer on the table, and Facundo Melillán’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Güemes are still strangers to each other

16 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Franco Vázquez answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

No place in the plan for Marcelo Benítez

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

In brief
