Match

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

10 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.

Squad

Alan Sosa damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Matías Mansilla 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.

Squad

Mauro Pittón 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.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Julián Palacios at his very best

Marked 9.07. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Unión de Santa Fe.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Agustín Colazo

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Unión de Santa Fe pick somebody else ahead of Bruno Pittón

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match

Unión de Santa Fe and Lanús take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Cristian Tarragona

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

In brief
