The Unión de Santa Fe Courier
Match8 Aug 2026
Unión de Santa Fe taken apart
0‑5 to Estudiantes, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Hapoel Beer Sheva come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Unión de Santa Fe did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The dugout10 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Ignacio Malcorra
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ignacio Malcorra, and the manager let it.

Juan Pablo Ludueña 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 Unión de Santa Fe this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nobody left the Unión de Santa Fe dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The clock runs on Franco Fragapane's contract
24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

10 new faces, and Unión de Santa Fe are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
