Squad

The knee: Jorge Benítez out for 14 days

14 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. San Telmo lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Joaquín Enrico wins the shoot-out

2 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Match

Cup progress for San Telmo

A 0‑0 win over Rosario Central, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match

7 matches without a win for San Telmo

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around San Telmo are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Valentín Matlis beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 26. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

Rodrigo Dinocco says San Telmo went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Leonel Pollacchi 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 San Telmo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at San Telmo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Yangali 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.

Match

The goals have deserted San Telmo

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at San Telmo can tell you which week it ends in.

In brief

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Juan Cruz Zurbriggen asks to leave San Telmo

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Facundo Roncaglia signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Facundo Roncaglia commits to San Telmo for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at San Telmo

Facundo Roncaglia 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

Nobody could get near Facundo Báez

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Matías Salerno out for 27 days

The medical room confirms 27 days on the sidelines for Matías Salerno, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match

Chacarita Juniors take the points off San Telmo

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

A row about effort at San Telmo

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

The dugout

Iván Molina: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Player ratings

Joel González will replay that one

1 error, one goal, and a night in front of the same three seconds. He will see it tonight, tomorrow and probably in February, and everybody who has played knows exactly which frame he keeps stopping on.
