Match19 Apr 2028

Cup progress for Unión de Santa Fe

A 1‑0 win over Chaco For Ever, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Emilio Giaccone shuts the door

Defensive actions: 33, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Market24 Apr 2028

Tomás González asks to leave Unión de Santa Fe

“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.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Brian Machuca: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Unión de Santa Fe have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Tempers go at Unión de Santa Fe

Mauro Pittón 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.

Juan Ignacio Bircher in the eights

A performance of 9.35 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Daniel Juárez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A masterclass from Agustín Colazo

Marked 8.99 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Bruno Pittón 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market15 Nov 2027

Tomás González puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Unión de Santa Fe, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Franco Fragapane says Unión de Santa Fe 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.

Match10 Nov 2027

The wait goes on for Unión de Santa Fe

4 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.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Nobody could get near Lionel Verde

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Unión de Santa Fe

Mauro Pittón 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.

Match10 Nov 2027

A bad afternoon for Unión de Santa Fe against Rosario Central

2‑3 to Rosario Central, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Agustín Colazo is carrying Unión de Santa Fe

8 goals and a season average of 7.40. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Bruno Pittón 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.

A masterclass from Mateo Del Blanco

Marked 8.79 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
