Match23 Oct 2027

No end in sight to Unión de Santa Fe's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Unión de Santa Fe has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad25 Oct 2027

Matías Mansilla stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market25 Oct 2027

Ignacio Isla 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 The request is on a desk at Unión de Santa Fe, and it is not being withdrawn.

Loan watch25 Oct 2027

The goals keep arriving from Agustín Colazo’s exile

18 goals in 28 games at Gimnasia La Plata — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Unión de Santa Fe updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Boardroom25 Oct 2027

Fausto Perezlindo signs for Independiente Rivadavia while still at Unión de Santa Fe

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Fausto Perezlindo has agreed terms with Independiente Rivadavia for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad25 Oct 2027

Words exchanged at Unión de Santa Fe

Matías Mansilla and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad25 Oct 2027

Juan Pintado 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.

The dugout25 Oct 2027

The manager makes an example of Marcelo Estigarribia

“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.

Match23 Oct 2027

A bad afternoon for Unión de Santa Fe against Instituto

0‑2 to Instituto, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market4 Oct 2027

Junior Marabel 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 Unión de Santa Fe can pretend not to have heard.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Mauro Pittón stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mauro Pittón and Unión de Santa Fe agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad4 Oct 2027

A falling-out at Unión de Santa Fe

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

Juan Pintado 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.

Loan watch4 Oct 2027

The goals keep arriving from Agustín Colazo’s exile

15 goals in 25 games at Gimnasia La Plata — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Unión de Santa Fe updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout4 Oct 2027

No hiding place for Eric Ramírez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Eric Ramírez, and the manager let it.

The dugout4 Oct 2027

A promise honoured at Unión de Santa Fe

Something was said to Matías Abaldo and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Market4 Oct 2027

No place for Ariel Chaves in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Ariel Chaves has his answer from Unión de Santa Fe; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout4 Oct 2027

Jeremías González is still paying for one afternoon at Unión de Santa Fe

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

In brief
