Match26 Sep 2026

Cruel end for Racing as Los Andes pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Los Andes scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Brian Leizza 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 Los Andes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Juan Ruíz Díaz

At 19 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

Los Andes find a way past Racing

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Los Andes training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matías Gómez 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.

Daniel Franco 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

The wait goes on for Los Andes

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match29 Aug 2026

4 matches without a goal for Los Andes

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Facundo Echevarría gets it from the manager

Juan Manuel Vázquez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match19 Aug 2026

Los Andes out of the cup

Boca Juniors ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Los Andes's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Los Andes has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Los Andes

Brian Leizza 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.

3 matches without a goal for Los Andes

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Sergio Ortíz

“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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Facundo Echevarría asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match22 Aug 2026

Los Andes and Ferro Carril Oeste cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Ferro Carril Oeste came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Market3 Aug 2026

Mario Galeano 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 Los Andes can pretend not to have heard.

Market3 Aug 2026

Los Andes say no — this time

The offer from Al-Khaleej for Mario Galeano 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

10 seasons of Daniel Franco

311 appearances across 10 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Los Andes know what they have.

Market3 Aug 2026

Levante watching Mauricio Asenjo

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

Market3 Aug 2026

Los Andes may not be able to give Juan Manuel Vázquez what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Juan Manuel Vázquez wants continental football; whether Los Andes can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Mauricio Asenjo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mauricio Asenjo and Los Andes agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Brian Leizza 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Los Andes come up short against Tristán Suárez

Tristán Suárez left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
